However we would have to subsidize people who do it. Not with free lambos... But with things like real single payer healthcare. Many people work to have a job with health insurance because their spouse doesn't, and the cost is too high if both aren't working. It would cost much less overall if we provided free basic single payer healthcare that allowed more people to leave the workforce. Their productivity would not be missed, their contribution in raising good citizens rather than dim criminals would be much greater than anything they would have done on a Raytheon assembly line.
