My issue with this is its essentially public subsidies for businesses. I don't want my tax dollars going towards programs that allow employers to pay such low wages people need government help. See things like walmart having food drives asking employees to donate their own food/money to eachother, because they aren't being paid enough to be food secure.
A lot of people with disabilities are on the lowest rung of the ladder in terms of opportunities. Some businesses are livid they can't ignore employee well-being by relying on fear of death, homelessness or starvation to keep people in line.
Bottom line is if people can be gainfully employed but still need to rely on government, that isn't a problem with the programs or the policy. Its a problem with our economic system.
