In my view, nobody owes you a living.

It would start with everyone owning land, by law -- subject to a minimum threshold of public accountability in its use.
No rent, no landlords, no homelessness, and the real estate speculators can kiss my ass.
Beyond that, there would be a basic public service requirement -- determined by what is necessary to maintain the basic health, education and welfare of the community.
That's the baseline -- everyone has a home, food for their kids, decent healthcare and a liveable community, and they have some basic civic responsibilities to go with it.
Beyond that, you can do as much or as little as you like, and your standard of living will rise or fall accordingly.
