Yes, but that (basic income) is not the point of this proposal. The idea is that you have a lot of people that are un-employed or under-employed, but shouldn't be, which is where we are today. This is a tool to a) get them a job and b) (by driving down un-employment) increase their wages. If this tool does it's job, then they won't need a basic income anymore - they'll be earning it at their new job.
