This is very interesting. I really want to see it work.

I'm thinking, what about not supplying mincome to zero-income households, but offering the cash once they're able to hold any job below whatever the poverty-line income rate is. As long as they're working, they'll get the money. Any resulting income surplus over the poverty line would go straight to health care and retirement for them?

edit: water, this would get rid of the Welfare Trap as well, I think.
