Link your end with the start. The top earners don't have the income to finance it.

My point is not that UBI should be a tax on the rich but that regular citizens can finance it right now if they want it.

You hope that UBI comes for free. It won't. The majority has to pay it with higher taxes, voluntarily or not. So if they want it then don't wait for politicians but implement it right now.
