No, but I don't think the latter individual should starve, or be unable to afford healthcare, or be forced to work in unsafe work conditions, or be forced to work multiple jobs because any single on that this person can get doesn't pay enough. I think the minimum that both individuals should expect to get from various levels of government should be the same, and that minimum should be of sufficient level so that the least fortunate can work towards something better when the time and situation permit without being forced to subsist in poverty and the mindset that poverty locks people into.
