    It’s a shame that poor piece of land has to get caught up in all this. It would be so much easier if the govt could just give millions of dollars directly to the rich.

      Oh but they can already do that, and they do it, e.g. through the Cantillon Effect, or when they bail out “too big to fail” institutions, or foreign borrowers, etc. You just have to be super rich, not average rich.
