If you really want to be socially inclusive, raise taxes on those that can afford to pay (wealthy pensioners are massively undertaxed in the UK for instance), and distribute it as "consumer tokens", or cash, that people can spend on consuming crap.

That's what advertising does. You're taxing me to pay for low income people to get free adverts

If you want to subsidise low income people, then be honest about it.
