This is easy to explain. People made unemployed or put on low wages and their dependants still exist. They need tax payers money to provide for them. This should be added to the savings of the low wages.
Next is the lower tax revenues. Lower wages = lower tax revenues. Not only income tax, health insurance also hit are all the sales taxes. Retail is taking a hammering, not just because of online shopping. More people with less to spend is another reason.
The argument that taking money from A to give to B so B can buy more. Is stupid, because A now has less money. Then completely fails when B isn't paid the same as A was. Great for companies saving on their wage bills, complete failure for the people.

Giving money from A to B so B can buy more is stupid???? DUHHHHH!!!
Who said "giving money away"? Nobody gives money away....
Long term investments in shitholes is something different then giving money away...
Giving money away is throwing money into the toilet. Investing long term means improving shithole-economies so new markets for western products are created.
God doesn't make new land... so men must turn shitholes into new markets... DUHHH.
