Subsidies and social programs drive down wages, this I concede.

You are actually wrong in this. You have concluded it somehow so
please state your argument.

For the same reason a teen living at home can work for less: economics. Someone with lower expenses can work for less.

People who don't pay taxes, people getting free food, healthcare, childcare, or any other of life's essentials can all afford to work for less. And usually will.

So then an employer can attract workers with a wage that usually wouldn't suffice. Quickly, everyone must sign up for the subsidy, thus confirming the need for it. A self-fulfilling prophesy.
