It seems that he is floating the idea of Universal Basic Income by another name. I don't think another name is necessary. If social welfare inefficiencies can be improved by UBI, then there are arguments that people of all tax brackets can buy into. UBI needn't be a livable wage, but it could be an extension where progressive taxation falls short, and progressive taxation falls short to the extent that the lowest wages aren't livable.
