They could just stop taxing low income people to raise their standard of living but that would mean less revenue for the government and they don't want that, much easier to make promises and then force businesses to cover the bill. As a side benefit the increase in payroll means even more revenue for the government Yaaah!
The drop in jobs probably erases the benefit but that's not surprising with poorly thought out policies.
