Things like this is what was said when the gov't instituted 'welfare'.

"If their food and basic necessities are taken care of, they'll have more money to put towards housing and education to get out of the 'hood."

where does that money come from? where does it end?

a better idea (IMO): No taxes on the first $25k. That would be up to $25,000 tax free for everyone... high enough to help people in low-paying jobs, low enough for us not to care if someone games the system by make $24k and deferring $2k.

any arguments against?
