Where does this job come from? The guaranteed minimum covers both the unemployed (including unemployable), poorly employed, and effectively employed. It has the advantage of being a fairer distribution much like national health care would be. I'm not a fan of Walmart sponging off government health benefits, that's why I'd prefer full on national health care to the direction we've gone. This subsidy to all individuals should create a more dynamic economy rather than the stagnation of make-work or the subsidizing of only the under-paid. ...unless I misunderstand your point.
