National sales tax, aka consumption tax, aka Fair Tax. Is the Right Wing head fake into UBI! I was tracking this back when this was warming up in the early 2000's. What you are not being told. Is that the new higher taxes will fearure a government "prebate" check. Or, whatever they choose to call it. A government payment, to compensate. This is especially what lower earners will come to depend on, but in time everyone. It will be marketed as the way to even the purchasing playing field. But, this is UBI, and we all will be made dependant in time.

I am no fan of our present income tax system, but we are being setup for worse. I am also not a Libertarian, or any of the political theatre groups. But, some Libertarians have been warning about the Fair Tax hook to UBI for decades.
