> Nobody who is willing to work at least a part time job is going to just sit back and live off of basic income alone for their whole life. That's a glib statement that ignores the experience of welfare pre-reform, and SSDI currently. Of course some people will do just that, and the relative difficulty of earning a wage compared to the relative generosity of a basic income would determine the proportion of people who live like this.
