It is low paid workers who can't afford it.

There is a reason why people opt to be small business people, part of which is the expectation of a better life than us wage slaves. I do admire entrepreneurs because it takes guts to jack in a job and do your own thing. And I agree that small businesses should be supported (which they are in a variety of ways - free advice, possibility of grants, looser regulation as laws which apply to bigger business often exempt small business....). But that doesn't mean you can treat your staff badly.
