The answer is neither, because the money you “give” is money taken from someone else, who would have either spent or saved/invested it. Or, if the money is created it’s just inflation that devalues everyone else’s money. So neither adds anything to the economy, just transfers to someone who is probably less deserving.
Also, the rich man doesn’t “do nothing” with the money, he saves/invests it, which contributes just as much to the economy, as that money is lent out and spent on things like homes, cars, business expenses and development.
It’s just so wild to see these movements see saw, it feels like just yesterday that conservatives were boycotting Disney and the left was gloating.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
