There’s a million questions involved in this statement. Who does the work required to grow and raise food? How do they survive? Is housing provided? What about the people working at the processing plants and truck drivers? Store clerks and security guards, etc. etc.
Perhaps socialism really is the solution.

When articles mention “The Economy” it just means rich people’s money.

Because that’s how the rich like it. The poors feel the effects, while the rich maintain or grow what they have.
