How does a payroll tax cut help Bob the Bartender who isn't allowed to work?

There is plenty of other work that "Bob the bartender" can do that is available.  It might not be for the same wage that "Bob" made as a bartender, but it's earned money rather than a hand out.  As a bonus, payroll taxes would not be taken away from him as well.

In my opinion, ALL businesses should be allowed to open up.  If democrats are too scared to go to such businesses they don't have to.  They can drive (with their government mandated) mask on in their car to the "essential" places that they need to go... you know, WalMart, Target, etc.
