Taking from what FM considers "the rich" and giving to "the poor" does not make the poor richer.

It just makes the "rich" poorer. Correction. The “rich” (top 1%) have not been even minutely affected and have just traded positions. They have been given 100% tax break which no one asked for nor was it required.

The “middle class” (Group B & C as per previous OMP) have been taxed heavily to fuel the needs of the “poor” (the R$ crowd) so as to appease the population and give handouts (participation in OMP guarantees 1GC) which solidifies the vote bank to influence +ve reviews throughout the interweebs while also encouraging this new cheerful crowd to invest $ into the game to gain better ranks & payouts.

The majority of the “middle class” were a stingy crowd (as per FM) who did not invest enough $ in the game (farmed to save not spend) and made it to their rankings with the roughly the same upgrades as put on during the SE/LTS. They created a sizeable dent in FM’s pocket as they had to dole out 50/100 GC every week to these penny pinchers. The graphs at their meeting must have shown this with bright red colours and numbers must have been staggering.

This is text book benefit principle taxation with tax cuts as addenum for the 1%.
