Higher skilled and higher paid workers are not in competition with the government. True supply and demand are at work to dictate their wages.
WTF?
Yes, it is supply and demand. Few can perform open heart surgery but many can mop the floor afterwards. It seems the goal of the Democrats is to falsely create a supply shortage of these unskilled workers by paying them more to stay home than they would get to mop the floor. In the long run, this approach drives up the cost of products and services.
Yes, of course.
The entire ******* world are following democrats?
The American democrats are forcing the Chinese to stay home?
That's where we get most of our BS from.
Yes, it trickles down in the form of more businesses and more jobs.
No, it doesn't and it never has, another 40-year-old lie.

We're starting to learn what America's biggest companies are doing with the huge windfalls from President Donald Trump's tax cuts. And the answer is great for investors – but not so great for workers.
That's because many companies are returning huge portions of their billions in tax savings to shareholders in the form of share buybacks and dividend increases — not necessarily new hiring and investment.
Companies are on track to plow a record $1 trillion into boosting dividends and buying back their own stock this year.
In the latest evidence that the Trump-GOP tax cuts were never intended to help working Americans, stock buybacks climbed to $387 billion yesterday, which is 58 times more than the $6.7 billion that corporations have announced or ATF estimates will go to workers through one-time bonuses or minimum wage increases. Apple’s announcement yesterday of a $100 billion stock buyback program, 333 times more than the $300 million its promised workers in one-time bonuses, is one of the worst betrayals of American workers yet.
Democrats seem to lump all corporations into the same group. The vast majority are small businesses whose owners are not mulit-millionaires, not that there is anything wrong with that.
Small businesses got screwed, just like the employees did.
They provide jobs, that is a HUGE support for the country.
No, they don't, small businessowner's do.
The government providing or influencing the job market is like robbing Peter to pay Paul.
WTF?
That's been the premise/lie of corporate tax cuts since Reagan, lied.
