It's worse than that. Socialists don't know what wealth creation is.

So nobody in the US government is at all bothered by the spending of
7.5 billion dollars on EV charging stations, with only seven stations
functional after three years. It's the money spent which matters.

 
Wealth is the thing that allows human resources to be invested
long-term, and not all burned up right now.
 
Marx was a moron.  "Capital" is just a symptom of what really matters,
which is ideas.
 
Communist countries crush ideas, which is why they are so poor.

Ideas generate money. Money doesn't generate ideas.

A good idea often starts in a garage (or lately, a dorm room) with
