He's not saying that, but, at the same time, he's not exactly right either. Giving people money does not remove the the impetus to work, but it does make low paying, unskilled jobs unattractive, and that has problems too. The reality is that some people do need to occupy the unfulfilling jobs, like being a janitor, because they don't have the intelligence or physical ability to do something with more permanent and tangible results. You give a man a million dollars, he's not going to want to haul trash bags around for 8 hours a day unless he's an exceptionally stupid man. I mean, like single digit IQ kind of stupid.
