> Lots of poor people pose one clear problem for the economy: no money is spent, no process of actually creating value takes place.

This is a prime example of where your misunderstanding of economics comes in.. you think of money as just pieces of paper... Its not that poor people cant spend money, its that they cant generate wealth. they are too hungry and beat down to contribute to the wealth generation of society

> Take some of the billions just lying there and invest in manufacturing the stuff we (humans) actually need. Not talking about taxing some middle class people that can hardly afford a nice house.

Again back to your fundemental failing, redistributing money destroys wealth, we want people who **create** wealth, not destroy it. We wont those people to get out of poverty by generating enough wealth, simply giving them money doesnt do that.

There is a reason why every time we tried that in history it resulted in massive deaths and starvation.

> As far as i am informed, taxes for the actually rich (not middle class or just barely millionaire) are at an all time low. Why keep that up? If you'd say the rich will build eco friendly tech, you have already been proven wrong.

No the all time low was zero, we used to not have federal income tax at all, or business tax. So it is quite far from an "all time low"

> Lots of economic growth since money is spent, ecological improvement if scientists are in charge of what to build. Don't see why that would harm anyone, only good outcomes.

Because we have overwhelming historical evidence that isnt how it plays out, ever.
