So if the poor get back more than they put in, how can they be disproportionately be funding it?
A carbon tax+UBi is not regressive, if the rich pay in more than they get out and the poor get back more than they put in. That is the red herring.
The break even point should occur somewhere in the upper middle class. If it was just a tax by it self you would be right. But the effective tax discount through the UBI makes it progressive.
