I think that's a great idea and probably workable. I would take it a step further in that for the working poor who are making the minimum wage that their incomes be subsidized up to that amount. I'm sure this country could run just fine if every family of four had a minumum of around $36,000 a year of either untaxed income or subsidized income. Like what's wrong with a guarenteed national income. Heck, right now we're paying close to $36,000 a year to incarcerate one person.
