Good idea, what would their incentive be, though, to work? And what exactly would they do?

It would be interesting to compare This Task Force and its aims to The Middle Class Task Force that Obama has set up. I can imagine this to be far more participatory and less run by experts and officials than that. The Task Force would look at practical solutions to the mass poverty of the working class in North America. I don't know if the negative response on this board represents a skewing of the people on this website to more middle class people but it is odd that people don't think this a good idea.
