What we’ve done is change who makes the decision for how to spend a certain amount of money from wealthy investors to fast food workers, right? The thing is, we know that fast food workers are generally not doing too well financially. A surprisingly large portion even need to draw on government assistance like food stamps to get by. Like most poor Americans, we can also expect them to be in a degree of debt. If you give these people a bit more money, you reduce strain on taxpayer-funded assistance, you pay off debts, and you get the added bonus of increasing the quality of life for some people. What I need you to do is explain to me what you expect to gain by having wealthy people invest the money used to achieve these ends. Call me a cynic, but I don’t personally expect the same good to come of it.
