I think, like you, i was reacting to a small part of another person's post.

namely, this part.

    Psh. "Create jobs". Gimme a damn break. People just need to get to work.

the idea that people "just need to get to work" sort of rubs me the wrong way, is all, because as I said, I know lots of people who work hard and don't make much. If getting to work and working hard were all that were needed to be financially successful, migrant workers would be rich as fuck.

There's more to it, it's complicated. Hence why i mentally wrapped it in with my previous comment. I... wasn't exactly clear.
