I agree that actions have consequences, and that it is not the governments job to control reproductivity... or is it... I digress. The federal poverty line is the issue, it has not been addressed. The main concern is that anyone working at the minimum wage for one individual grosses income under the federal poverty line in 48 states. The federal poverty guideline for 2021:
For families/households with more than 8 persons, add $4,540 for each additional person.
1 $12,880
2 $17,420
3 $21,960
4 $26,500
5 $31,040
6 $35,580
7 $40,120
8 $44,660
