I don't know why people always expect companies to do things the government should do. And when they do things that the government should do, they then say the the company could do more. It's false. The government could do more. And if they're out of money they should tax these companies more then.

What if the people don’t support taxation, or the companies avoid it?

If you don't support taxes usually you go live in exile in the middle of nowhere. If you want infrastructure, schools, firemen, police, etc. then you support taxes.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What does that even mean? Is anything I said funny or incorrect?

“so the bankers can make money” is a vapid statement ringing back to occupy Wall Street. That’s not what the money is for, not will it particularly help bankers anymore than it will help every person with a money market account, a mortgage, or a job at a corporation that uses loans.

$4T is going to the Federal Reserve...up to $1,200 will be going directly to taxpayers, to put the ratio in perspective, if the money was all going to taxpayers directly each taxpayer would be getting over $18,000, instead they will get $1,200. You are saying it will help every person with a mortgage or job at a corporation that uses loans...which simply means it will help the loan/mortgage holders and services which helps the banks.
