4. In a less fucked up world there'd be no need for this.

In a less fucked up world CEOs and businesses would pay their employees fairly so they could afford a home and food.

CEOs and businesses would also be taxed at a far higher rate (look at the top tax rates in the 50s and 60s) so that the government would be in much better position to set up programs for the lower income groups, not to mention healthcare for all.

AND in my most humble opinion, nobody becomes a billionaire by treating their employees and customers fairly.
