I really like your suggestions about "sharing the wealth" of tax breaks and evening things out. One of the reasons that my co-founder and I started Breadcoin, which ensures that people are fed with dignity through a food token used at local restaurants, is that so many people care that others are hungry but just don't meet the hungry personally. Our system was created in response to asking our own version of your questions because we felt like a creative solution was needed to share the wealth. Regular people who can afford to make sure that others are getting food, especially when benefits are being cut. (I hesitated to share this, loathing using a comment sections for promoting anything, but it does feel like an answer to your question.)

I look forward to reading more creative ideas. Good conversation.
