Any working age person who makes under the federal minimum wage is in poverty. Children, the retired, and illegal immigrants don't count. Realistically anybody not making a living wage for a 40hr week is impoverished.

Hilariously, there are a great number of MAGA types that would be included in the people who would receive the $100k, but would vote against their own interests due to brain rot political talking points.
