Well DUH!!!
Let's say I run a store. You come into my store and buy a pepsi. You give me $1.50, I give you the pepsi. I just earned $1.50, and I earned it out of your pocket.
It's called a transaction. It's what makes the world turn.

I am not completely against social programs. I just support social programs that actually work.
