If you think poor workers should make more money, then the government should give it to them. The last thing we should do is make it harder for them to retain a job, or penalize those that have provided the best job they have on offer. Preventing the low skilled from working stunts their career permanently.

Goal: help people by increasing the amount of money they have Politician A: I’m going to help people by increasing taxes and increasing cash given to people Politician B: I’m going to help people by forcing business to increase pay and therefore keep taxes low. Voters will choose politician B. Same thing with higher education: Politician A: I will help students by funding universities and keeping tuition low, but have to raise taxes. Politician B: I will help students by increasing the amount of debt they can load up on and I will cut taxes by reducing funding for universities. Politician B gets elected again.
