minus-squareSCB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前It isn’t at all, though, unless you change the words until the topic is unrecognizable. Paying taxes so the poor can have things and “talk about fossil fuels” are entirely different things.
minus-squareSCB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 年前Yes it literally is, sometimes. If I give sales tax breaks on healthy food, guess who that ultimately also helps?

People become billionaires because they run large companies. Large companies make things people want.
