The premise is that UBI will be a trade off in taxes being paid by corporations to the government. It keeps the cycle going, just like inflation, or what they claim is inflation, because some corporations have been recording record profits, the more profits made, the more taxes paid. Food is only taxed exempt at the retail sale level, not from the production level.

They never tell people how much the government makes back off what they dole out. Just like they want everyone to believe it's all the medical research and studies behind the high cost of medicine but they never tell people how they negotiate pricing and kick backs to the government for buying their products. Medicare is exempt, if I recall, from this policy, except during the pandemic for pandemic related goods, but medicaid, is different, they can negotiate pricing for medicaid, and in order to get the government procurements, they offer incentives, same goes for foreign aid, foreign aid money must be spent on products, goods and services provided/manufactured in the US. That is why, if you've ever went to a pharmacy, and they said a prescription isn't covered by medicaid but medicine A, B, C, is, they will call a doctor for you and have them rewrite the script. They are all the same medicine, under different brand names, have all been around for awhile, it's just certain one's get the nod from the government during bidding process.
