Negative income tax

Negative income tax is when the government gives money to people who don't have a lot of money. The government looks at how much money you make and gives you money to make up the difference if you make too little. For example, if you made $8,000 in a year, you would get money from the government to make your total money up to $10,000. That way, you would have more money to buy the things you need.
