Those who are in this multi generational quagmire, or even those who fall into its grasp mostly due to lack of personal ambition and or substance abuse problems, are faced with this delema every day: Gee, if I find a job, I will lose my or some of my benefits. So, why get up and sacrafice my freedom. This is not an over simplification. I can point to any one of personal situations of which I am aware that support this notion. IMO the only way out is to order educational training, either accedemic or technical, with a finite end to government subsidies. Kind of fish or cut bait.
I think that the idea is this. Provide a guaranteed minimum base for everyone. Whatever you earn above that is yours to keep - after taxes of course. So employment would not negatively affect the guaranteed base but would add to it. It would also serve to eliminate the need for a minimum wage.
Dilemma.
