> disincentivize work too much

This assumes that work is good, and that not working is bad. How do you back up that assumption?

What happens when there is not enough work for everyone? If your value is intrinsically tied to your job, and there just aren't enough jobs to go around, are you supposed to just die and make way for someone who won the N lottery which let them get the job? Or should employers create unnecessary jobs just for the sake of giving everybody a job (and thus taxing us in another way, to support paying all of these unnecessary jobs)?
