Just look how many jobs are basically reallocations - banks, insurances, regulation, intermediaries, agents who help others find their way between these, various inspections an bureaucracies. Most of these jobs are created only to keep as many people dependent on the powers as possible. It's hard to rule independent people.
The principle is just the same as charity: let me gather as much in my pockets as I can, then watch me being generous with some small percentage of it (and making sure lots of that returns to me). Watch me cut jobs and pay for regulation which makes near impossible for small shops to survive, while I pretend to be in fierce competition with my pals, the big ones. Watch me pay for more laws to sort of help the unemployed I created, and pay for the PR to denigrate them as lazy bums, just because they don't agree with the wages and working hours I offer.
