And if someone is incapable of producing more than $15/hr worth of value with their labor, should they remain perpetually unemployed and dependent on welfare? Or should they earn what they can and allow for public benefits to top them up to a survivable standard of living?

Oh I completely agree that welfare should be there to help you to have at least a survivable standard of living.

But I don't think it is in anyway moral that a company pay their employee so less that they need public benefit to be able to survive.
