You are overlooking that the poverty level is adjusted based on how many individuals are living in a household.

It would be a different story if everyone was single without kids and could rent a room above a one car garage like Fonzi.
MaDalton is simply saying there would be less welfare if the average employee was better compensated rather than just paying them the bare minimum allowed by law.
