You're the one with that problem.
What do you consider "a really good wage,..?"
COSTCO, Trader Joe’s and WINCO...to name some local area retailers.
That's YOUR local area, which is not everyone else's. Where I live the poultry processing plants always had the best wages and benefits for low/unskilled work.........UNTIL WalMart came into the area. Now they get the people that can't get a job at WalMart.
What is not such a great thing is that they pay so poorly that their employees rely on state assistance.
Before you start busting on the private sector, I suggest you check into how many people who work for the government, including many in the military, also rely on state assistance.
I do not wish my tax dollars to pay $$ because a large private company hasn’t figured out how to provide benefits to their employees.
Hate to burst your nonsensical bubble - but it is NOT the responsibility of any business to provide anything to anyone other than what an employee agrees to or a customer agrees to pay.

One thing has nothing to do w/ the other.
How little we pay our military is disgraceful. The fact that these folks put their lives on the line and we can’t pay them enough to live on is just wrong.
This country has not done right by the military for decades and it needs to be fixed.
I don’t mind paying taxes that support our military. I do mind paying taxes so the Walton’s and Walmart is more profitable.
