Why should either have to? I know if it got to that point i would work two minimum wage jobs plus run a paper route if it was the only way to take care of my family

Have you ever thought that maybe the reason that people do have families on minimum wage is because they know that they can fall back on the government to help take care of them? Maybe what you are advocating for as insurance against that situation is actually an incentive to be in that situation. The safety net is actually a hammock.

Yessir. Being reliant upon the safety net should be uncomfortable enough to be an incentive for those on it to want to get out of that situation, instead of saying to themselves, "Ya know? This ain't so bad."
