You're looking at the economy and business in general completely wrong. You have a SERIOUS fundamental misunderstanding of how it works.

There isn't a fixed pool of X trillion dollars per year for all companies and government agencies to split up among workers.

If a company gives $300k to some guy in Silicon Valley, he'll turn around and give it to other people providing him with goods and services. They in turn spend the money on things they need.



That is the very definition of trickle down economics.

Spoilers: it's been thoroughly debunked. It factually does not work.
