No, it's the corporate elite who want you to stay with nothing and not gain anything more just so they can keep hoarding more wealth. Do you really think people of lower classes are lifted out of poverty by a few elite gaining more wealth and never giving anything to anyone else, leaving the little guy with nothing? No, that's the very opposite way poverty alleviation works, people are lifted out of poverty from the wealth generated by capitalism coming to them and gaining more to themselves as individuals. When I refer to redistribution of wealth, I'm not necessarily referring to government handouts, I am referring to getting a job, earning one's keep and gaining more income through one's salary including getting a raise and a promotion and government handouts don't do that, they just leave one dependent on government handouts. I am for welfare as a temporary solution but not long term for that drains the system and one has to eventually get a job. Corporate elites want you to not have a job because you having a job and a decent salary from them requires them to give a little to you and they would much rather hoard wealth and power even though you having a job from them isn't exactly getting free handouts for nothing. Did you know that many Amazon warehouse workers are on government handouts? That's because Jeff Bezos refuses to pay them a decent wage and wants less for them so he can have more for himself that he doesn't even invest more into the company but buying extra luxuries nobody in any way needs even though those workers damn well work very hard generating more wealth for him, like I said I believe a job is the way out of poverty as opposed to government handouts and if a job doesn't pay you decently for your work and you end up being on government handouts then that defeats the purpose of a job and I believe Amazon workers have every reason to unionize and go on strike. In fact I also believe that unions are better than raising the government mandated minimum wage.
