This sort of seems like a guaranteed living wage.  You get a job and we will supplement your income.  Free market would say get a job or starve.  I think it's a rather good thing.  People can take a job that doesn't maybe pay great, and still keep their benefits.  I would throw in child care as well.  Which I believe we also do.   I can't comprehend why any of this is considered harsh, but to each his own.
