What strikes me as weird is that parties that call themselves left-wing opt for this kind of hand outs without realising they are in fact subsidising the rich with workers' money. How this can fly?
Well not helping people in order to stick it to the rich is neither productive nor effective. There’s a reason for these handouts and it’s not as if left-wing parties don’t advocate for higher minimum wage. A problem can always be attacked from multiple sides.
