would best form of taxes be a VAT and property tax on most valuable parts of cities??? I think my only issue with UBI is the idea its not clawed back as you make more income, or at least it isnt in yangs version I feel like a VAT would be a hard sell but there must be some angle

No clawbacks is the *point* of UBI. Clawbacks/means-testing etc. mean you're punished for trying to improve your situation.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_trap …

i thought you could phase it out in such a way that every point you are still making more money, i dont mean clawing it all back at one exact point but phasing it out gradually

I suspect you're using the terms differently
steelmanning @turrible_tao , what he means is "creating new UBI can be budget neutral bc everyone gets it, but the tax rates go up on people in the upper 60% of the income scale such that they cancel their own UBI and pay for others"
