Disincentive if anything. From 30k government handouts start to go away and you go backwards financially until well over 100k household income.
That drives everyone in that financial range, where most people are, into one of 2 patterns of thinking. Republican, I don't get anything so they shouldn't either spite. Unsustainable because we're all being robbed blind by inflation. Democrats, they get free shit so I should too. Unsustainable because it means more inflation to pay for it.
I was homeless and turning down work because it would make my unemployment go down more than it paid 20 years ago and it has only gotten worse since then.
It's warped incentives and unintended consequences all the way down to the rotten core.
