> I'm going to need a cite for that.

You're going to need a citation for... employers seeking lower wages? And that these lower wages are subsidized by government benefits?

The citation would be nearly every company, ever. So start with Walmart and work your way down, I guess.

tl;dr: Taxpayers pay $5/hr in benefits to allow the employees of Walmart to be paid a wage under the poverty line.

== EDIT ==

You would agree that rent subsidies flow to landlords, and mortgage tax deductions flow to sellers, right? Why would you not understand that wage subsidies flow to employers?
