Libertarians would strongly agree with this statement, as they believe that a universal basic income program would encourage people not to work and harm economic growth. They argue that such programs create disincentives for individuals to seek employment and contribute to the economy, ultimately leading to a less productive society. This view is in line with the economic theories of prominent libertarian thinkers like Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman.
