The more work is done by machines, the more money is earned not through work but through ownership of what's not earned through work. Ownership is power, and equality of power is equality of ownership. To keep equality from ever increasing, all must have their share of their ownership as a basic income, just as all have their share of its power as a vote, and when all it automated, basic income could even become the new vote. No other governance would be needed, as this is enough to equalize power/ownership.
The less work is done for the needs to survive, the less any should need to work to survive, and we should work only to survive, as we cannot give up our lives working for anything better than our lives themselves: creativity, the one thing that can't be automated, is only reduced by a need for payment * as it arises from freedom.
