"Because this time, incentives won't play out the way they have every time variations on this experiment have been tried throughout history"

or

"Let's make earning a living optional, and funded by the productive members of society, and see how that pans out".

I'll grant you it'll be easier and cheaper to implement than other versions of a taxpayer funded welfare state, but I imagine the outcomes will be the same, and the (im)morality is no different.
