I will concede that hyperinflation was not the right term to have used, what I mean is inflation to the point that negates the UBI, which I strongly believe. I hear the idea that there's so much bureaucracy that we're actually saving money by just giving everyone a flat rate by cutting all the nonsense out, and there's something to that, but I think just giving literally everyone free handouts is not a solution and essentially a cop out. If we're handing out tax money it should be to those who need it and nobody else.
Let's assume that the poorest 10% of people out there are the ones in most dire need of this extra money (according to supporters of the idea they are the people who absolutely need more than they get today in existing schemes). They get a small increase in earnings which helps them out massively, and perhaps they don't have enough extra money to cause any inflation, I can certainly accept that. But what about the extra money that the next poorest 50% of people receive (the bulk of the population)? To these people maybe it is almost entirely a complete surplus income, which will cause inflation for anything and everything these people want to hand over money for, which unfortunately the poorest 10% of people will not be exempt from, which puts them back to square one.
A lot of people say they can afford to and would be happy to pay more in taxes to help out the poor - then what's stopping you? The fact is you're just one person declaring that a 2nd person should have to give money to a 3rd person. Very noble indeed.
