Isn't that exactly what proponents of basic income hope will happen? People will be free from the shackles of employment and will be free to pursue their own i

  Yes, it seems so. However, my argument is not that basic income would not have desirable consequences, but that I think it's not sustainable. I try to look at the whole system, and I don't see how it would work.

  That doesn't explain how it would help alleviate the tax burden. I would also quit my job if I had a basic income, but my own ideas/interests would not generate me any money so I would definitely go from someone supporting the system (financially) to someone mooching off of it.
