Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats are proposing to give doctors, nurses and other essential workers, such as grocery store clerks, up to $25,000 in hazard pay as part of the phase four coronavirus relief bill.
The bonus pay, which would amount to a $13-per-hour raise, would also go to truck drivers and janitors, who Democrats say are also essential to keeping the health care system and economy running during the crisis.

Those people should not be getting any more money. Aside from the doctors and real nurses, none of those people make enough to pay any taxes. We've already gave them at least $1,200 handout which they did not earn. Enough is enough. If these people didn't want to be put harms way then the doctors and nurses should have picked a different career. All the other ones should have went to school and got real jobs in which they could have worked from home. These greedy freeloaders have stolen enough tax dollars as it is. They should not get another massive handout because they failed at life and work crappy jobs. If anything, they should get a pay cut since they are getting all that extra money from the stimulus check. Cutting their pay will allow their companies to stay operational and reduce costs for goods and services during these difficult times for real Americans with real jobs.
I can support a tax cut because at least then we know it these low-income low-skill low-importance "front line" workers will not be getting another giant handout they didn't earn. Other than Doctors and Nurses very few of them make enough money to pay anything in income tax. Also, a tax cut would benefit everyone who doesn't fall into that 45% of Americans who don't pay taxes. That means even I would get something from it, and right now I am more worried about myself than some idiots whose only skills are putting canned soup on a shelf. If anything, we should be keeping this money for use in ensuring our oil industry doesn't totally collapse. If Exxon or Shell go under then we will be in deep trouble. We can put this money to much better use by helping out the job creating corporations that keep our economy moving forward. Let it trickle down naturally where it's most deserved.
