Indeed so we should tax people for being poor to make them work. <sarcastic> There are two extremes at work here, either you try to help and incentivize not working (I will lose my free student aid if I make more then X) or you punish them for not working (lazy tax). Sometimes it seems like the best solution would be to do nothing, though I know there's a fine balance that could be struck that's better then "nothing" it seems our current political climate does not do a good job of finding actual solutions to problems (I.E helping people improve their lives/conditions)
