Who is more guilty of using Government handouts, Employees that are not paid a living wage and rely on them just to put food on the table at the end of the week, or employers that don't pay a living wage knowing the employees can access it to put food on their tables at the end of their work week?

And lets not start, defending the below living wage, stating that it’s just kids on this wage and all they really need it for is party money.
Didn’t we use this style of argument with women saying all they were working for was personal money thus didn’t need to make the same wage as men who were supporting the family.
I know there will always be different wage scales, that depend on experience, or education but even the lowest wage should be a living wage and not need government help at the end of week just to put food on the table.
