How do you determine what is a necessity and how much of that necessity is free?

Is electricity a necessity? Should it be free for everyone? Should the person who owns the massive mansion get it all paid for? If we say its only for a certain amount of electricity, does the person who doesn't use all of their allocated amount get compensation somehow?

What about food then? I don't think anyone would think lobster and caviar should be free. So let's just do food basics like cheese. Artisan cheese is expensive. So we need paid for artisan cheese and basic government funded cheese product. So now we have a two tier food system where poor people live off gruel and soylent green, while the rich can afford real food.

The only way to solve these issues is to find agreed method of representing value that people can use on what they want.

No one can complain that someone else is getting something for free, because they also get the exact same thing. No one can defraud the system because everyone gets the exact same cheque. Well, unless you bump off grandma and collect hers too.
