If you set a per City or per county minimum income and every family that falls under the income level receives the difference as long as at least one person in the family is working a full-time job and there is at least 1 child in the household then that would go a long way to solving the issue.
Sure it would suck for the people that are making $5 a year more than the annual minimums to know that their neighbor that's working minimum wage at McDonald's is making almost as much as they are, but wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world that wasn't littered with abject poverty for no reason other than rich people have no upper limit to how rich they want to be?
