Make the first $10K earned tax free and tax everything above that at 20%. An individual making minimum wage or $16,320/year would pay $1,264 for an effective rate of 7.7% while an individual making $200K would pay $38K and be at an effective rate of 19%.

Stop enticing poor, single, too young mothers to breed for dollars.
