Directed to Eric, but I'll respond too. FWIW, money handed to the poor is spent, funneled back into the economy and tends to be cost-neutral.  Money handed to the rich is saved or invested and contributes far less to the economy.  There are data gallore on this, so you can verify this for yourself.

I'm going to ask you a common sense question, if you started out paying your kids and continued paying your kids with no strings attached or expectations in regards to development and advancement, would your kids have ever left home? Do I seem naive to you? Do I seem to be more seasoned, savvy and street smart than the typical Libtard? So, how many poor people and how much money do you need to give them to match the contributions that I and my business make every fucking year? Any fucking idea? Is there any fucking data that the Left has available to give you an idea? Aren't you the one who fucked up and told me that Covid originated from a Chinese food market? Dave, we are now rapidly approaching a dividing point and we will most likely still be around to see who ends up with the shitty end of the stick. I'm here to tell you in advance that I told you so. How much wealth do you have available Dave? Do you have enough to cover my loss so to speak?

Odd that you mention never weening your children, because the ones actually doing it aroung here would be your political allies.  No, it doesn't make sense to pay people forever, but it does make sense to help them get what they're owed in life.  For at least the last 50 years (I'm starting my count with Nixon), the governement has favored business over people 100% of the time.  Price inflation?  OK, but we'll keep an eye on it.  Labor cost inflation?  <<DANGER >> Raise interest rates!  Cut benefits!  At some point, that has to not just cease but go into reverse.  That time may be now.

And what about those workers with more income?  Well, they'll start buying the things they've wanted forever but couldn't afford.  That spending becomes profits and wages, which keeps the economy humming along.  Economics is not a zero-sum game, unless pure greed makes it one.  It's vastly better to fuel growth.
