Because companies > people in the eyes of the state.

Something something job creators….something something trickle down

It's more like companies = jobs in the eyes of voters.

I have never once gave a flying fuck about a nebulous concept of "jobs."

Sounds like you are in a very good position to appreciate how the average voter feels about this.

ETA: I think we'd all be better off if people had a more realistic and practical attitude to jobs.
