Man oh man could you ever game a tax like that. Start a small company and hire your own family at minimum wage would be cheaper than just paying the tax.

That would introduce a ton of perverse incentives.

That will also solve the unemployment problem and incentivize people to start small businesses. The family members will also have a choice between working minimum wage for their own business or seek a higher paying job, pushing wages higher and higher.

Sounds good to me.
