> We have to accept that some people will accept free subsistence income and not work.
It is already like this in many countries.
In Italy it has always been like that at least since the end of WW2.
It has produced one of the largest youth unemployment rate in the west.

In my opinion balancing it out without creating first as many jobs as possible is a really hard task, doomed to fail given the current state of the world politics
Why do people call it "the land of the free" then?
