> Ultimately, at the end of the day it's the citizens who need the money. Well yeah, citizens also own American companies, so they need the money lost due to their companies (which is their property) not operating. They should be compensated for the loss of enjoyment of their personal property. > The easiest way to fairly divide money among people is to divide it evenly. Sure, but that's not fair at all. > It doesn't matter if they are rich or not. Well, yeah their wealth doesn't matter, but their income does. Someone making more money and now not making any money due to government intervention is actually owed more than the guy making less money. > I say give whatever money you were going to give to businesses and give it to the people instead. Don't rely on trickle down. No, you need to give money to both. People own businesses. If their business is not making money, then that is their money that the government must compensate. Even the largest businesses are owned by people. If some company had a dividend scheduled and is now not doing that due to losses incurred by government activity, the government must pay it.
