This statement draws attention to the reality that all wealth should be considered property of the government to disperse as necessary for the betterment of most people. "Giving" money to either businesses or individuals through tax breaks, refunds, or tax cuts should only be done at the pleasure of strong, central rulerers immune from the demands of the public they serve. Otherwise, the temptation to form bonds between the rich and the governing class becomes too great to resist.
