I think guaranteed income is a good idea. You want poor people to have enough money to eat well, to have a TV to sit in front of and stay out of trouble, and to own just enough property that he's tied down to it just like the rest of us.

Give everyone that amount of money, and watch the crime rate plummet like a rock.
