If you do a search it breaks down the americans that make over 80k, over 100k, all the way up to over 500k, if you add them all together it's over 40% of americans.

Anyone making 0-40k get the full $1500 a month in addition to what they are making (But they do pay taxes on all of it).

Anyone making 40k to 80k get an additional $1000 a month.

Anyone making over 80k get ziltch.

Initially though incentives would probably be given to cause people to still work 24 hours (3 days) a week, until we get to a point where there are not enough jobs for everyone.

People who are disabled, retired (over whatever the current retirement age is) etc, would not need to work the 24 hours.

This would provide a work force during the transition, and people would have a base amount of money from working +1.5k, and probably get used to that as well.

See one of the advantages with such a system is people can work MORE hours, to end up with more funds to enjoy life with. You can live comfortably working 24 hours a week, but if you work 40 hours or even 50, you still will be making less than 80k for sure and for some jobs less then 40k even, so you'll get the additional money.

That means people will not NEED to work 40+ hours, but can if they want extra spending oney or have a goal they want to achieve etc. It will be a choice, not a neccesity. It might even cause more people to work harder/longer because they feel like it's up to them if they do, they are not being forced to do it, and all the money isn't going towards basic costs of living.
