Government policies related to job creation don't help workers. They could have used the money to help bootstrap small entrepreneurs but instead, most of that money ends up directly in the pockets of large shareholders and executives. Those few workers who do get some of that money are basically enslaved to these corporations. If a company pays you so little and there are almost no other employment options available for you and you can't afford to lose your job with that company; that's basically slavery.

>a company pays you so little and there are almost no other employment options available for you and you can't afford to lose your job with that company; that's basically slavery. Cool political story, but it doesn’t line up with the current realities of the current labor market. Unemployment is very low and this is finally resulting in some upward wage pressure as well. >most of that money ends up directly in the pockets of large shareholders This is a senseless statement. When it comes to dividends and buybacks, all shareholders get paid regardless of their size.
