Since sitting on the couch requires no education or effort of any kind, there will be no incentive for these people to not become (or remain) dumb and lazy. All they will need to know is which candidates are promising the most freebies.

I think the idea isn't to replace jobs. I believe it's based on the fact that some products not calculated into inflation (medical and housing) have far outpaced inflation. So a universal income is supposed to be a govt effort that really should be paid by employers.
