Johnson's approach to poverty reduction was more focused on creating opportunities for education and employment, rather than providing a universal basic income. His 'Great Society' initiative aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice through education, medical care, urban problems, and transportation, but did not include a universal basic income.
