    Yes if you change words in a sentence you can make sentences mean different things. That is indeed how words work.

        It isn’t at all, though, unless you change the words until the topic is unrecognizable.

        Paying taxes so the poor can have things and “talk about fossil fuels” are entirely different things.

            Yes it literally is, sometimes.

            If I give sales tax breaks on healthy food, guess who that ultimately also helps?

            If I subsidize apartments so people can afford a homes guess who that ultimately also helps?

            If I just straight up hand poor people money, guess who that ultimately helps?

            People become billionaires because they run large companies. Large companies make things people want.
