I don't have the answer, and have this conversation a lot with a buddy of mine. You can go one way with the government providing everybody with a "living wage", but we all know that will be abused worse than welfare and food stamps. On the other hand, the displaced workers need somewhere to go, otherwise they will do whatever is necessary to protect and feed their families, which likely includes harming other people. 

It is an issue that each administration will probably be kicking down the road until it really comes to a head.

If every adult citizen gets (say) $20,000 to do with as they please, and are free to supplement that with actual income, it should be abuse free. It would be abused only if the government micromanages it, which it probably will by setting income levels above which one does not get the "living wage."

Of course there will be those who spend the $20,000 a year on drugs and alcohol, but that's their choice. I wouldn't call that abusing the system.
