Not everybody in a bad job is there because they don't deserve better. Some people just get screwed. That's the biggest problem with unemployment, IMO. It's largely random who gets the shaft and who gets a good job.

Government has to step in when people are being treated unfairly by employers. Before government stepped in, we had children working in factories getting their limbs chopped off. Before government stepped in, there was no minimum wage at all. People in shitty jobs would be paid almost nothing. Who's going to collect the garbage for $1.00 an hour?

Who's going to take care of the people crippled because of unsafe working conditions? The government has to do that, so why can't the government do something to improve those conditions?

Who's going to take care of the people that don't make enough money? The government does that, so why can't the government do something to raise incomes?

The government serves at the will of the people. The people are getting screwed. You can't live on $5.15 an hour. You can barely live on $7.25.
