I used to get all riled up about handouts, but now I realize all the money is fictitious anyway. Billions are created with the tap of a keyboard. Trillions exist in some kind of magical black box constructed of arcane financial transactions. So why not just give the people what they want and need, hell the men behind the curtain get theirs the same way and don’t do a damn thing.

Isn’t it just an advance on next year’s refund?

“So why not just give the people what they want and need, hell the men behind the curtain get theirs the same way and don’t do a damn thing.”

But ‘their’ money would have no ‘wealth’ if everyone was rich.

The ‘rich’ would not exist without the ‘poor’.

Someone has to run the machines that keep the castles afloat on top of the clouds, and someone has to empty the trash.

If everyone is rich, no castles floating, and trash everywhere.
