Too many people would rather pay ten times as much to incarcerate someone than give them a UBI to prevent them from turning to crime.

One of the most common replies in any discussion of universal basic income is "but how do we pay for it?" and not once do those same people ever question the costs incurred by not doing UBI. We spend $1.5 trillion every year on the costs of child poverty alone. Poverty ain't free, folks. WE ALL PAY.

Are the rich immune?
The Rich Already Have a UBI
10 percent of all national income is paid out to the 1 percent as capital income. Why not give it to all as a universal basic income?

Let's assume for a second that universal basic income would lead to more men playing video games. Is that a worse outcome than working for ICE or in prisons? Is it even bad to play? The reality is that everyone should have the freedom to not do evil work, by having their basic needs met as a right.
Not great that we’ve created a system where the best job opportunities for working class men involve either overseeing other working class people in prison, or working as masked secret police violently hunting down working class immigrants targeted for deportation despite having committed no crimes.
“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE,” one official with the prison workers union told ProPublica. “It’s unbelievable. People are leaving in droves.”

New evidence in support of universal basic income. This is via the Rx Kids program that's going to babies for their 1st year of life. The $500/mo has led to a 32% reduction in allegations of maltreatment among infants compared to the control group. This has also been seen as a result of Alaska's UBI

Just goes to show how they can easily come up with reasoning to support universal basic income when they want to. Yes, UBI is a dividend for shareholders. As citizens, we are all shareholders.
Also, we ALL created the capital that AI is trained on. We should all be paid a GDP dividend EVERY MONTH.

The White House’s celebration of the weak job market makes no sense
Job growth in the first year of Donald Trump’s second term is on pace to be the worst since the Great Recession. So why is his team bragging?

In 11 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene will turn 62 and start living with a basic income floor for the rest of her life of about $1,230 a month, thanks to having served 5 years in Congress.
5 years ago, her net worth was around $700k. It's now around $22 million.
Just some facts to know.

One of the reasons we need universal basic income plus higher taxes on the rich is to boost the spending power of the bottom 60% and in doing so, reorient our economy around the needs of the majority of people who comprise it. As inequality has increased, our economy has adjusted to meet rich wants.

Brazil provides an unconditional monthly income for life to the daughters of military parents who've died that on median is equal to $2,250/mo and where some go up to $15k a month. Based on 30,400 daughters a recent study found that a UBI of $1,300/mo could likely decrease earnings by close to zero.
