If we stopped the taxpayer benefits to the people who get them, would employers be forced to pay more in response in order to attract/retain employees?  No.  They are paying them for the value of the work they perform.  An employee's financial obligations are none of the employer's business.  We don't pay employees based on how much money they need to meet someone else's arbitrary definition of "basic needs."  An employee who isn't happy with his compensation is free to take his efforts elsewhere.</blockquote>
