Well, the DDI would require those who are not retired and able to work to work to be paid. To work is to make a productive contribution to society.

One parent (or legal guardian) could be paid to work in a home where one dependent was in residence. If the income were paid to everyone, though, the relative distribution of incomes would remain the same.

I also favor a compulsory pubic service of, say, two years, in which people would be paid the DDI and jobs would be allocated by lottery. That would impose comingling among people of disparate social strata, which is good for a democratic society--as WWII demonstrated in the U.S.
