Government created his job. Government created my job. What is he talking about?

This is about core values. I believe it’s ok for government to help people. In fact, government’s purpose is to help people. It’s better to help people than to hurt people. Government is us. Government is what we make it. If you don’t think government can create jobs, just watch us.
