> it becomes a crutch and will stifle their future success

The need to work already stifles people's success. People spend time working "dead-end jobs" where every hour worked diminishes their chance of future success.

If people didn't have to work that _______ job, they wouldn't. But they do, because they have no choice.

A basic income gives them that choice. It does not "stifle" it.
