You don't need a salary once you have robots doing our jobs.

If you need something, you go to the Amazon.com web site, order the
stuff you want, and the robots build or grow it and deliver it to your
place with googlecars.  Robots don't need  salary, so you don't have to
pay them to work for you.

Now you may ask what about the transition period when not everything is
robotisized yet?  It's why we need universal revenue.  So we may stop
working for capitalistic corporations, and instead work on the resource
based robotic production and distribution system.
