Because companies will never ever pass on their expenses to taxpayers. Their expenses are paid by magic money from nowhere....
"...corporations pay their employees poverty
wages, causing workers to rely on government assistance..."
Or is it that the government assistance programs create an artificially low "livable wage" because they can live on the combination of their wages and the government assistance programs?
Perhaps Sanders will think they should introduce lower limits to the government programs? Nope:
"Large companies, not taxpayers, should be required to pay for federal public assistance programs that their employees are eligible
to receive."

@ocdtrekkie Best part: Companies will be punished for contracting with or hiring an employee on public assistance, but it will be illegal for them to know if they're doing it.
What could go wrong with punishing people for something they're banned from knowing if they're doing?
