The reason why the universal income wasn't enough for people is that since the 80s, businesses have made employees more and more expensive by driving up the cost of living and making stable employment impossible to find. Another reason that universal income won't happen is because there won't be enough of a government left to pay it. The wealthy have been shifting the tax burden onto the very people whom they're planning on getting rid of. And the increase in the cost of live will not level out, because business owners will respond to collapsing demand by raising prices - just like they do today. Another problem with their plan is that their simplistic little economy of super spenders is highly likely to collapse. I mean you even mentioned that you think this will work because of easy access to credit, so you're looking at a mix of wealthy people who own instead of work, and people who are currently in tremendous debt and will soon to be in a for-profit prison. Which won't do anyone much good, because the government won't be able to pay for prisons. The trouble with this system is that it's run by people who don't care what happens to either businesses or governments. Unexpected situations will be the biggest threat your automated society of lotus eaters, so people who still able to fix things and come up with new solutions are likely to be pretty valuable. But it probably won't be very nice for them, since they'll have no place in your society of self indulgent elitists. Most likely they will want nothing to do with you.
