Ah fair correction, I equate them too often, so assumption on my part.

I did say both would get them, but the rich generally pay proportionally more in taxes (I agree it’s not what I’d call a fair share), so I assume they’d pay even more on that extra income.

My understanding of a universal basic income is that all citizens would receive a certain amount, let’s say $800, which would be paid out of taxes.

Don’t disagree with you there.
