these people are nothing but crooks, they should be stripped of their wealth

[The Dharma Bum]

letting people horde fabulous amounts of wealth has ruined our economy, which depends on the flow of goods, services, and money to function

ergo, making sure everyone has money to spend is the way to a strong economy
