No, it would make it worse for the people who do not pull their own weight in society.
Besides, since poor people don't spend very much money (in theory anyways) they wouldn't be paying much in the way of taxes.
Sorry for the lack of sympathy, but I have not yet met a poor person who couldn't have bettered their situation with a good work ethic and some discipline.
