If you don't make any income, you aren't paying for it. You can have your issues with UBI, but "the government could force you to work to pay taxes" isn't any scarier than the current situation, where not working can just kill you.

Your opt in situation couldn't be considered UBI.

Then why should I have to pay $1000 in taxes to get $1000 UBI?
