The current system hurts them as well. If I'm an employer in a business that uses low wage workers the fact that the government subsidizes their wages makes a larger pool of low wage workers willing to work for me and this drives their prospective wages even lower. This allows their wage to stay far lower relative to those higher skill jobs which have no free market interference and a supply/demand curve that isn't distorted. Reduce the subsidy and companies would be forced to pay more and find a way to make that worker more productive.
