Then you make laws against them moving the money...?

Like seriously, we haven't even ATTEMPTED to reign in the rich and people like you come in and say "well they'll just find a way around it, anyway!" Good, fuck them. If you can pass UBI, you can pass a set of laws that either guarantee you pay into it or you get the fuck out of the country. Rich people who hide their wealth overseas can lose their citizenship and be deported.

Easier said than done when they own the politicians

You are missing the point, FFS. My post wasn't meant to be some bulletproof argument for UBI and the rich avoiding their taxes, its to say that people like the guy I replied to - and you I guess - are too busy making excuses for why it can't work to even try it. So good job, the rich don't even have to own the politicians because you're already convinced its a lost cause.
