That's basically what Zajdel describes in his dystopian vision: the basic "red" points that you get allow for a basic existence (e.g. food and shelter) without performing any work at all. So one might say it isn't really a wage.
I mean, reduce the basic living cost. For example, a homestead that ran on its own power (solar, wind, etc.), can manufacture many basic needs products through microfabs, and grow enough food.
Reducing costs doesn't do away with capital expenditure. But once acquired, the ongoing cost of living approaches zero.
If you give everyone a universal income, you are still making people beholden to the grid of some sort. The red points are still a wage, because ultimately, you have to rely on someone outside your family group to redeem your needs.
Reduce the cost and make that available en mass, and each household would be reasonably resource independent. Luxuries, of course, won't go away. Wants are endless.
