That's not how basic income is proposed. Basic income means everybody gets the same amount, regardless of what they are earning. At least that is the proposed solution and is the accepted definition. It is universal and unconditional. If you make a million dollars a year, you still get the same basic income check as the guy who is earning zero dollars per year. (Obviously, the guy making a million dollars per year would be heavily taxed.) Citation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income
