Zlatan the next Ronnie O ' Sullivan . <| sep |> The playings of the Pantheon plural I guess also lusus has other meanings than playing according to wiktionary <| sep |> The ONLY way to pay for UBI is to increase the amount of taxes paid by the rich they already pay about 80 %. To make this work , they ' d have to pay even more . The moderately well off will have to pay a lot more , and the truly rich will have to pay a great deal more . This is because the actual middle class , those who pay , say , $ 15 K to $ 25 K per year now , will likely have their taxes offset by the UBI payments . So , they will be contributing essentially nothing . Someone has to pay taxes , and if its not the poor , and not the lowermiddle class , then it has to be the upper middle class and the rich , right ? They will make more , and pay much , much more in taxes , for a net result of less insane profits . right ?
