100%. And a livable wage based on where you live. The cost of living in some regions is way higher than in others and you can’t just say that low income people should have the longest commutes, or spend the most to move to someplace with lower cost of living.
I’d also be in favor of a negative tax bracket. Something that adjusts below poverty income to above poverty. If done right everyone would see some benefit as the system adjusts everyone’s income <= $40,000 up to $45,000 or something via refundable tax credit or some such. Make over $40k and you taxes go down $5k. Make $40k or below and you pay no taxes and get a refund of however much less than $40k you made + $5k.
