Capitalists want a workforce that is desperate and does not have basic needs met. So the argument is that if people aren't desperate enough they won't work? Think about medical care. If you owned a factory wouldn't you want workers to show up, healthy and fed and ready to work? Sure they do, but they would rather have desperate people who have no choice but to work for pennies, who can't afford to take time off to vote or strike.
