The way to make that work is that every citizen gets that check... even the billionaires. That red tape is not just painful to the citizen, it has a huge amount of overhead for the government to process.
Question remains: what motivates the capable to work? Why bother if all your basic needs are paid for? Send me a no-effort check for $30,000/yr and I won’t contribute $30,000 effort to the economy. I can live quite well (by my humble standards) on that.
There’s a reason the Bible opines “he who will not work, will not eat”. Without negative natural consequences, people will sit around wasting the fruit of other people’s labor. Pay me $30,000/yr for doing nothing and I’ll park myself in the woods reading library books; pay me nothing for doing nothing and within 3 days I’ll start paying $30,00/yr in taxes on my earnings.
