I think the best possible new tax to implement alongside universal basic income is a land value tax because it would also solve the landlord problem and make housing more affordable. In the US, this UBI layer should be implemented locally and exist in addition to other layers alongside other taxes.

@scottsantens@hachyderm.io Property taxes should be bot progressive and cumulative (?). All your property values should be added together and then taxed in a progressive way. "Property" should include wealth beyond "land".
