I suppose the common response would be that preventing billionaires from hoarding insane amounts of wealth would remove incentive from them to “innovate and create jobs”. Not that I buy that as being true or worth the wealth disparity currently seen.
Yeah, I mean whether you subscribe to the belief or not, that is the general liberal thinking. If they thought differently, they probably wouldn’t be liberals anymore.

To that I’m thinking that humans have an innate desire to innovate, and we wouldn’t need jobs if we had fair taxation of the ultrawealthy and UBI.

IMO the main argument against UBI is:
“I think all the money would go to landlords because I don’t know what elasticity is but nonetheless feel qualified to speak about economics.”
