Why should the taxpayer foot the bill for a business unable to pay their employees a living wage.
Nobody is owed more than their work is worth.
If we want to have charity to make lives easier, that's fine. There are lost of good reasons to avoid angry and starving people in the street. They can be paid by taxes. You could even tax businesses to pay for it.
Pretending it isn't charity is what I object to, and the economic problems it creates.
