Wouldn't call this an easy solution. If you're working and you can't afford basic commodities like food, shelter, electricity or running water, that means the taxation might be indeed too high. Taxation shouldn't be like mob racketeering. That's why there are income minimums in many countries, bellow which people are not taxed. Of course then comes the problem with people declaring smaller income in order to not only pay less, but sometimes no taxes at all...
