It’s an odd psychology that makes people resist giving $1000/mo to hard-working citizens to buy what they need, yet be OK with billions/yr given as subsidies to industries already making huge profits destroying the planet so that a tiny group of people can buy whatever they want.

Even if they weren't given subsidies and had to pay taxes, they could still buy whatever they wanted.

Odd psychology? Just the wickedness of man. Pure evil. Logically it doesnt even make sense.

It’s just Wild West capiltalism transferring the wealth any way it can. No psychology. “Everything is economics” said someone famous I can’t mention in case Twitter gets spooked.

Psychopaths are overwhelmingly represented among the ranks of CEOs. So defending their own interests above anything else makes sense.

It’s not psychology, it’s capitalism and it’s failing!

It's not odd, it's completely normal. It's been the norm ever since humans progressed beyond tribes into small governments.

Another point is that most of these big corporations either hide their profits or spend that money overseas, where it'll never return. On the other hand poor people will spend every penny here in this country and it recirculates back into our economy!

It's never explained / demonstrated to the public as many of the beneficiaries 'own' the news channels via advertising (or actual shares). I'm sure if we had 2 solid weeks of simple graphic explaination on tv that everything would change. News channels have their hands tied.

To exert virtually unlimited power. But we still have right, power, and responsibility to vote.
