CMV: If a company can afford to pay it's full time employees a living wage, they should have to reimburse the government for any government assistance received by any of it's employees.

I am of the radical opinion that a person who works full time should make enough money to support their family, on one single full time income.  While I fully acknowledge that this is a radical dream, I think a fair compromise to take as a reasonably achievable goal would be that no one working full time qualifies for government assistance.  Any full time worker who is on any form of government assistance is not on welfare, their corporation is.  Many of these companies are capable of paying their employees a living wage and yet chose not to. I recently saw numbers indicating that one third of the employees at Amazon qualified for food stamps, and yet the CEO of Amazon compensates himself to the tune of $105 Million per day in total compensation.  Cases like these are clear cut examples of the government subsidizing the employer's expenses for the benefit of the highly compensated workers/shareholders.

So for this argument, you are taking the position that a "livable wage" is anything that doesn't acquire the employee to draw from welfare?

Most business owners will now prioritize hiring single people over people with families as they don't need as much income to support themselves.
