If a universal basic income of $15,000 a year would cause everyone to stop working, why is anyone currently earning over $15,000 a year? If you're reading this and have a higher income than $15k, why are you doing that? Reduce your hours and enjoy the sweet $15k lifestyle.

Stop trying to make poverty so complicated. It's a lack of money. Just move people above the poverty line with an unconditional universal basic income floor set at the poverty line or higher. Tax the rich more so that even though they get the UBI too, their after-tax incomes go down vs up.
