Well put.
And its not just past sins, either. There are plenty of people who are able and willing to work which, for one reason or another, can't find work. Unless, of course, they are willing to work for less.
I know that for a fact. Being unemployed isn't just a condition you are born into. You can also grow into it.
And I always checked the boxes that said "Veteran" and "Hispanic", even though they had absolutely no bearing on how well I did my job. When the time came, my age didn't matter either.
