It’s called welfare, and it’s already been tried.

I remember my first trip to Honduras with my family back in 1984. What stood out the most was the vast number of campesinos, from young children to old adults, outside the city with their machetes in hand heading out to work the fields........They either worked or they starved.
I also remember the efforts of the hollywood elitists to shut down the garment "sweat factories" that took advantage of women and children in Honduras. Never once realizing that those were actually premium jobs for the truly poor who would be out in the hot cane fields if not for those factory jobs.
