The simple fact is, if your business can't afford to pay a full time worker a wage which keeps them out of poverty, then your business is being subsidized by the state and federal govt (and tax payers) and is operating as a leech to the system.
I'll put it another way, if your business can't afford to pay its workers above the poverty level, then your business model is a failure and you should be having a going out of business sale.
It's called fiscal responsibility and as a employer it's your responsibility to pay a livable wage.
