Sure, if a business owner has unrealistic expectations then he will eventually go out of business. But people who willingly agree to work at a certain rate of pay, are not being exploited. You are free to quit at any time just like your employer is free to fire you at any time. It's a voluntary & mutually beneficial exchange.

If you want businesses to be required to meet some standard of pay independent of employee performance then you are creating a situation where life will be considerably worse for the poorest & least skilled people, because it will be economically impossible to hire them to do anything. People take low paying jobs because it's the best they can get & low pay is better than no pay.
