> What I don't understand, if everyone is going to pay for UBI, can't you basically just leave the UBI and be at the same point?
No.
I mean, if everyone paid a flat capitation equal to their UBI payment, sure, but if “everyone pays” because it is paid for out of general funds raised by a tax system which, even if it is a mix of various taxes, is approximated as a progressive tax on income, then, no, not at all.
