theres a poverty level the government has set, if you make below this level the idea is to give you an incentive to try to pull you out of poverty. Having less people living in poverty makes for a better society.

#1 Does giving money to poor people help them break out of poverty ?
#2 Do you think having less poor people would make society better ?
