Most right-wingers (deliberately?) confuse UBI with welfare: in many countries you will lose money if you take on a lowpaid job if you are on welfare. Your gross income is roughly the same, but working costs money (childcare, transport, etc).
Those people are stuck in the poverty-trap and make the very rational decision to avoid paid work.

UBI massively cuts down on poverty-trap issues: working a few hours doesn't get you kicked out of welfare.
