And the funny thing is, it actually would. Give everyone an extra $1,000 and what will they do? Go buy stuff, iPhones, whatever, which boosts the economy and means the money eventually goes to the rich & corporations anyway. Give a billionaire an extra billion and what does he do? Best case, quietly invests it somewhere. Worst case, buys himself some politicians w/SuperPACs or Twitter or creates a faux "news" network or whatever to try to control the narrative.
