Don't you want to get the highest salary for a particular job? Don't you want to pay the lowest price for a particular product? Employers are just doing the same. So what if WalMart wants to hire someone for 3 cents an hour? Maybe I'd like to pay my doctor $1/hr. Either way, it's probably not going to happen. People will not accept $0.03/hr for a job unless it is of benefit to them. Also I find it incredibly condescending to believe you (or the government) know the opportunities available to people in poverty better than they themselves do. Lastly with regards to 'government forces the wealthy to distribute their wealth', wealthy people generally have quite a few options, to include the option to exempt themselves from paying what some would consider "their fair share".
