This notion comes from the naive idea that the government has a better use for
the money than the money's rightful owners.
Which, as we've established that the government is not usually looking out
for their population's interests, is an incorrect notion.
There is also the problem that money is not the end-all-be-all of economy. If you have a system of money redistribution in place in order to ensure the poor
have money and the rich don't have as much, but the productive fabric of the country is damaged, then buying a loaf of bread will be still worth 50 bucks and poor people will still be poor people.
People who vote for left-leaning candidates do not understand this.
Specifically, when you adjust the economic machine to ensure the low and middl
classes have money but you don't have a productive fabric in place, what you get is runaway inflation and people unable to secure affrdable food and housing. I am sure this rings a bell.
Runaway inflation is part of what lead to the rise of the Nazi's in
Germany, and the rise of other totalitarian regimes (both fascist and communist) in other places.
