In simple terms, this wealth-redistribution....you convince some idiots that they are guilty of something and via taxes or fees...they will pay into some pot which is shifted over to some third-world ‘Abu-character’ who will use his portion to buy a gas-generator, a diesel truck, and forty head of cattle.
Go look up 1500s gimmick of the Catholic Church...the letters of indulgence, that you could buy and relieve yourself of guilt. It’s same basic pattern.
How do you know that it didn't work???
