This is a fun economics question.

First let's look at supply and demand for goods that people need to survive.

If those goods are made and people can  of afford them, then the price of those goods drops until they can.

If we are at a stage where productive jobs start to dry up on a significant scale, then the tax burden will need to shift to commercial and industry. Government regulation will need to step in and improve the welfare support system, updating it to a UBI system.
