It should be universal with no limit. If they want to cap it then take the money back from anyone who makes over a certain amount of gross income on next year's tax filing, without the benefit included, you can cap that at $250,000 if you're doing a cap. That way everyone is getting help if they need it and no one who loses their previously comfortable job has to wait on the unemployment system to be able to survive or lose out because of money from their previous tax returns, that they no longer make.Smh, income limit needs to be 250k
If you're making a $250,000 a year and you know you'll have to pay the benefit back you aren't going to spend it unless you lose that job and are no longer making that amount. Meanwhile you can make interest on it so you still come out ahead.

Everyone should get money. If we're going to tout UBI as necessary then we should make it universal and not argue for means testing while making that argument

i can't imagine making over 200 thousand dollars per year but needing UBI
my violin for those people is pretty small. actually it doesnt exist and i thought everyone wants to raise taxes on the rich, isn't cutting them out of UBI the exact same principle?
Then you all don't actually want UBI.i can't imagine making over 200 thousand dollars per year but needing UBI

There's a pretty common scenario in the black community where the children of successful parents end up in a lower class.
Maybe that 2k a month from there parents can be set aside to provide assurances in the future.

Im fine with means testing. It can save money
Just make grant money available for people to apply for things like that
Govt shouldnt waste money giving 1 or 2k a month to millionaires
People who advocate ubi for everyone but not a flat tax arent applying consistent logic

i mean i thought the premise of UBI is that the people at the bottom have to scrape by every month, the average american makes 35k a year, etc. trying to budget 2-3 grand a monthThen you all don't actually want UBI.

someone who makes 13 thousand dollars a month, after taxes, doesn't really seem like they need it

Exactly
Its a safety net. Big money makers shouldnt get it. Better remedy is to beef up unemployment so if 6 figure earners lose their job they can stay afloat
And also..if youre making 6 figures and get laid off...its not going to take you long to find new employment
