> This is a people issue and not an economic issue.

Take it a step further: All economic issues are really people issues, in one way or another.

The economy exists to serve people. We do not exist to serve it. Whenever there are measures that are "to help the economy", but which are detrimental to ordinary workers, they're not really to help "the economy"—they're to help the people at the very top, at everyone else's expense.

We need to refocus on what helps actual people—what helps the most people—rather than on the misleading abstract of "the economy."
