You are arguing that it is just good business sense to pay a living wage....which is highly situational. This has nothing to do with the morality.

Fair point.

You don't want the state to be responsible for providing the means of living so therefore it falls on the employer? Why can't the state be responsible?....why does it have to be the employer?

To clarify, do you feel anyone is responsible for providing a means of living?
NOT logic:
1. Claim to have logic
2. Throw a tantrum when asked to present it
3. Claim you've already presented it
4. Repeat step 1
