why the fuck should my taxes - as somebody that employs people and pays above average - be used so that other employers can pay shit and also gain a competitive advantage against those that pay a wage people can actually live from?

I have no idea where you guys got the "subsidize" idea from...
the facts are:
- there is an employer willing to pay for example $7/hr for some job...
- there is an employee willing to work for $7/hr
- normally these 2 people would work together and both would be better off as a result
but now, the government makes this transaction illegal, and so it doesn't happen...
- employee is out of a job, stays home and sucks on government teat for some unemployment benefits...
- employer can't grow his business...
- government/tax payers incurs additional cost of paying unemployment benefits...
so all 3 parties are worse off...
