Again, you are acting as if the existence of a task makes it worthy of a "living wage" as if this is self-evident truth.

I could just as easily state that government is subsidizing the individual who is either unable (i.e.: due to disability or poor eduction) or unwilling to seek out a job/task worthy of a living wage.
