So then, the individual, relieved of this burden,is much more inclined to have a positive attitude, and will then seek more readily to explore his own potential, discover a hidden talent, or learn,at a more comfortable pace, a new skill, or set of skills. In effect, the theory here is, to make entrepreneurial enterprise easier, rather than a struggle against a corporate dominated aristocracy.
Certainly, there will always be some % of population, who will be content with the minimum standard of living, since it would take care of their basic psychological needs. But I doubt that the majority of people would lose their desire to improve upon that condition, so there should not be reason for the system to deter motivation. The difference will be, that poverty will not be such an issue as it currently is. In fact, the lowest standard, will make it nearly impossible for an individual to live in deprivation, unless that individual just refuses even the basic provided allotments. In that case, then, the individual that lives in poverty, will be entirely a personal choice made, not one which was forced upon them by a failed system.
