“We want the poor to work and contribute to the economy.”
Bingo. The purpose of creating jobs is to get the poor off welfare. The reason to deport illegals and end h1b is to offer those jobs to citizens. The reason to improve education with parental choice is to give kids the education that makes hem employable.
Changing incentives is also needed to get the poor to work.
Currently welfare pays better than work. That must change.
Remove all taxes on the working poor. Remove both the employer’s share and employee’s share of SS, FICA and Medicare taxes. That is the same as raising the minimum wage with no negative impact the employer or consumer prices.
At the same time, cut back eligibility for SSI, for TANF, SNAP, EBT, and all welfare programs.
Yes, the government will lose tax revenue by allowing the working poor to keep their own money that they work hard for. So? So what? Whose money is it anyway, the governments?

Please, tell me you’re joking....”Working poor”, aren’t we all?
KILL welfare. Govt has neither the authority nor capacity for ‘charity’; it only relies upon FORCE. Don’t want to work, rely upon the benevolence of others; not the continued picking of pockets from the end of a gun.
Remove all taxes?? 1) No Citizen should *EVER* pay $0% in taxes, govt and services aren’t free. 2) They use the MOST gov services.
Think it’s best they can claim a benefit w/o having been taxed for the same??
Need to start supporting, supporting and ensuring our Rights; it’s one of the FEW ‘jobs’ govt was created to do.
