Yes, poor people need to spend their money on necessities, like rent and food. That's why giving them money only enriches the landlords and the grocers (warning: I'm simplifying. Obviously poor people spend their money on quickly devaluing consumer electronics and automobiles as well).
I'm not in favor of corporate hand outs (often generalized as "Trickle Down Economics," which is only partially true), but giving money to poor people only funnels the money back to the landed gentry. Like that fucking genius just pointed out happened during Covid (yet the retard can't put two and two together as to why "Trickle Down Economics," isn't as bad as he's making it out to be).
Only wealth creation makes our society better (and sadly, companies generate most of the wealth cause they are efficient at it). The more wealth there is, the more of it there is that poor people can get their hands on easily. Sadly, that means the rich get a lot of it too. But this is why the "wealth gap," doesn't matter. The gap only matters if more is not attainable; but given that most assets are duplicable (not land, that amount is static, but you can make more cars or iphones in an unlimited fashion, essentially), the only thing that matters is making enough that everyone can get some.
That is to say, the only aim of a Capitalistic Democratic government when it comes to economic policy should be to make it easier or cheaper to manufacture or acquire the stuff we need. Which always and everywhere will beat the pants off a Socialist government where stagnation and lack of production is an inevitability.
And if the proles weren't so far up the left's ass to realize that they are being used for power and control purposes, they'd realize that we are already in an end-state where many resources that 100 years were necessities to life that not everyone had access to, are now basically free and available to everyone. Thank you Capitalism.
