"Employers are subject to market forces just like everyone else."
Much, much less than the people you're targeting with these taxes. "Oh, you can't afford to drive to work now? You're fired. There's a line of people out the door who can and want a job."
" If they need workers in order to make money, but workers can't afford to get to work, they will pay more money"
No, they won't. They'll pick people up from the pile of applications they have, and try again. Rinse and repeat.
" If you don't believe that, fine. Just raise the minimum wage instead."
Or how about we just don't institute an extremely regressive tax scheme?
Seriously, your lack of empathy for the very people you're going to attack with your plan is astounding.
