    Everyone knows the best way to help poor people earn more money into take their money and give it to rich people because rich people are known for spending their money and thusly giving it to poor people.
    If we wrongly focus on taking money from rich people, then they won’t have as much money to give to poor people, so poor people have less money if we let them keep their money instead of giving it to rich people to give back later.

      Rich people are just better at managing money than poor people. Poor people will just spend it on dumb shit like “goods” and “services” which they greedily acquire from their vast network of other poors.

      Much better to have rich people in charge that can properly sequester money into The Wall Street Economy.

      Your comment would be more amusing if so many people didn’t believe it were true…
