$25,000 x 300,000,000 = $7.5 trillion

Where is $11,000 per year a living wage??

So let's say you only had 1/3 of the country working below $25,000/year. Even with the sliding scale, that's just too much money.

And you think there won't be bureaucracy involved in distributing this money?

I like nowaypablo's ideas, as per usual.

Edit: Sorry to be a stickler... you can just say "50 cents", as ".50 cents" implies half a cent. ".50 dollars" is acceptable though. I'm an asshole when it comes to units... hah, you can quote me on that.
