Leftism keeps the poor poor

How does Leftism keep the poor poor? There are many reasons why, and here are a few:

  1. Leftists want the State to hand out generous contributions to those who don't have jobs. Governments which follow this policy usually deal with sky-high unemployment. It's that simple.
  2. Leftists demand all kinds of regulations for the poor countries of the world, similar to those the rich countries have today. They want to "save" the environment with regulations, "help" the workers with regulations and "level" the ground on which countries compete on the world market. This, in short, keeps the poor, underdeveloped countries out of the loop in which the rich countries deal.
  3. Leftists want companies and "rich" people to carry up the tax-burden, while the "poor" people are given all kinds of financial benefits and handouts. This, in short, stops everyone from seeking increased wealth, and hinders companies from performing well, which again puts a stop to the creation of new jobs, higher-paid jobs, innovation, price-drops on common products, and so on.
I would more than welcome any additions to this short list, because in reality its endless (or as long as the issues Leftists make proposals for).
