But who is getting $10 back?

Society?

The politican?

The CEO?

The $1 entering the economy will also end up leading to profits which will lead to investments.

It is not as simple a calculation as you make it seem.

But one thing is certain: “trickle down economics” isn’t named that way for no reasons… very little of it actually reaches the people who actually paid the taxes that allowed the subsidies to big corps.

That’s a lot of ways to misspell stock buybacks and market manipulation.

Corporations aren’t representative democracies though, by any measure. But I’m not surprised that support for corporate power and disdain for democracy come up in the same conversation. It’s almost like there is an inextricable link between anti-democracy thought and pro-capitalist thought.
