Either give people the money to cover their basic needs (food, shelter etc) or cover their basic needs for them. Fortunately we don't have to pay for air to breathe, but we do have to pay for food and shelter. I don't believe our basic human needs should be used against us to force service/labor out of us, at least not in the First World where our basic needs can easily be met. So yes, I'm strongly in favor of one way or the other covering a person's basic needs either with a payment or using another method, then anything else that a person wants they have to earn it.
