SO, taking money away from people who earned it and giving it to the government is your solution? Because the government does such a great job spending our money better than we can?

And giving money to Henry Ford would have been silly. But he understood that in his own mini-economy, the best way to stimulate it was to give money to its poor. If he'd given himself and his executives raises with that money, it wouldn't have grown the company nearly the same amount.

And he did a lot of great stuff for the poor and he paid for it himself. He did not give it to the government and expect them to do it, he did it.
