What are you smoking?
First, businesses ARE taxpayers. Most are big time taxpayers.
Second, they wouldn't ask government to train their workers - - most "labor" is on-the-job training anyway. Government "job training" programs are a political pander to help politicians look like they care about the unemployed. The politicians LOVE government "job training" programs.
I have read a dozen stories in the last few months about businesses that claim they cannot find skilled workers.
They are not suggesting the government train them.
They are suggesting that the government PAY to train them.
Business wants work-ready employees.
They don't want to pay anyone for training.
