### Comment:
VATs, traditional welfare is replaced by UBI so that bloat is eliminated, he has talked about eliminating other spending/bloat, and over time the UBI boosts domestic spending leading to increases in VAT income. 
  
 That’s the simple idea behind it at least.

### REPLY:
I got behind it when I saw that the existing welfare spending was already half of the proposed UBI, and it doesn’t serve that many people.
