It's a good study, though, showing those complaining that their complaints are without merit.

An economy needs its money to move around (be spent) and generally the more it moves around, the better the economy. Those at the bottom tend to spend their money, whilst those at the top tend to not spend their money. Ergo, you give more money to those at the bottom. I think this has some grand name like "demand-side economics".

Why this isn't obvious is because of so many people not at the bottom who either don't see that the money naturally moves up - so they will get more anyway - or they prefer the idea of "me having more" rather than "everyone having more". Either way, these people thus prefer systems that directly give them more money. The ones who won't admit their selfishness then invent reasons why this is arrangement is preferable! Including furphies against give those at the bottom more such as "but it will raise prices". Which your study pretty much disproves.
