UBI as a cost cutting measure

CONTENTS DELETED

I have thought before that putting people on UBI would suck wealth out of a wealthy society and this is a good thing. We want the West to become impoverished so that society starts appreciating good productive members of society again.

UBI wouldn't suck out any wealth from society because the wealth of a society is basically what it produces and most people produce nothing.

If most people produce nothing, then contributing to their well-being is a waste of resources, and hence impoverishes society.
