In the very limit, at full, 100% automation, this might hold true. But right up until that point, there will still be some jobs that need to be done by humans. And if we don't fundamentally change our understanding/social contract of what it means to be a Valuable (TM) human being and member of a society, there will be huge conflicts arising from this.

Think of all the anti-welfare rhetoric around people just being "too lazy to work." If this continues to be a socially-accepted way of thinking about people without jobs, then automating away significant portions of the required workforce will be very painful for the victims of the process.
