It would only begin incentivizing work after you make 25k? And what about people like me that took 28 years to get to that point? Incentive to work is only one issue. Another is that people don't want to lose their job because it would mean that they die. That mean technological improvements are more likely to be opposed by workers. With basic income, programmers and other job destroyers will be able to automate at will, and everyone will benefit. I would have never worked as hard as I did to finish college if I didn't have the threat of perpetual poverty and possibly homelessness hanging over my head. Then find a way to incentivize yourself to work. I never finished college, but now I am pretty active as a self taught learner and actually care more about learning than most college students. It has been a while since I didn't study and learn something new everyday. The threat of perpetual poverty is like the threat of dying in wars. Yes, it propel you forward, but it was not a good incentive.
