Negative income tax seems to be what a lot of the left's ideas about a "citizen's wage" amount to (at least any semi-coherent explanation of a what citizen's wage is that I've actually managed to track down). I've always sort of assumed, therefore, that it is wishful thinking magic economics, even though on the surface it looks plausible so it's interesting seeing it advocated by an organisation I assume is to the right rather than to the left of centre.
