This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state.
The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return.
When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut.

It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.

The post-war Potsdam Agreement stipulated that both West and East Germany would denazify and dismantle the monopolies that were the bedrock of the Nazi regime. West Germany never complied and, unfortunately, annexed and dismantled the East after the defeat of its socialist project. The wrong Germany won the Cold War.
