With UBI:
-People will be willing to take more financial risks. If you are working a job you hate, you are more likely to quit and start your own business knowing that even if you fail, you will still have UBI
-UBI should not be available to inmates. This gives a financial incentive to abide by the law and dramatically reduce the social and financial costs of crime.
-We already spend a fuckton on welfare programs anyway. UBI would streamline everything and make dispersion of funds more efficient.
-Depending on how automation develops, we may eventually need it anyway
-Financial insecurity has huge physical and mental costs. UBI would alleviate some of it.

Lower taxes as doing a UBI has proven to lower crime and thus the need for as much money on taxes to support a police state is reduced.
