>UBI is a redistribution expense, that means, the government takes taxes from richer people, and distribute it to everybody.
It does not have to be. I take a Georgist view of the topic which when applied to UBI can create system based on Commons Rent.
Commons Rent would be fees on Natural Occurring Resources things like Extraction of Minerals, Forests, Fish. Fees on EM Spectrum (our current model of "selling" the EM Spectrum needs to end), geosynchronous orbits, air corridor usage (which can be very profitable in the coming age of Autonomous Drones). Pollution fees aka carbon taxes or other such fees.
Included in that would be Land Use Fees, and many other things not listed herein
It does not have to be a "take from rich, give to the poor" situation, it however does change the traditional attitude of natural resources as the marketable private property of the first person to discover them.
