I would expect this to happen if you just give everyone UBI with no changes anywhere else, but that wouldn't make any sense. Why do we not consider a setup where we set UBI to X, then reduce everyone's wages by X?
Would reducing wages by X be as effective as reducing 'passive' income from assets (by a proportion of X) or by imposing a wealth cap?
