The bailouts kept businesses afloat for an economic crisis the government created. No one got rich on them. We used programs to pay the staff and overhead. Otherwise they would have been unemployed. If you think that money could have been used to give raises, when we had a gigantic hole blown out of our revenue due to the covid policies, you are ignorant of reality and prone to commiunomic (I coined that!) thinking, which is why every communist economy is good at only 2 things: creating poverty and low productivity. Even with that help from the government most businesses could barely pay their employees what they were already earning.

And in any case, we are all suffering the consequences of the government's magic printing press in the form of runaway inflation, which is the consequence of your ideology. If a burger flipper got paid 30 dollars an hour, everyone else's wages would go up and so would prices. The burger flipper would be no better off than before because his 30 dollars would then have the buying power of what his earlier minimum wage salary could buy.
