Yes, we can usefully expand the EITC in multiple ways. My contribution is to point out how adding a component to those without earnings can help those who are in extreme poverty, while continuing to reward work which is important to voters for reasons of incentives and desert.

Focusing funds on wage/working income subsidies has always seemed a much better way to reduce poverty than the minimum wage, and vastly more politically sustainable than a universal basic income. It's unfortunate EITC style supports don't get as much attention.
