It is factually incorrect. It is not giving them money, it is taking less money from them.

  No it is not, you need to understand the difference between intended meaning, neither is incorrect, they just have different goals, it’s like the 10,000 definitions we have for the economy, there is an economists definitions and layman. Neither is implicitly wrong because they are all accepted meanings, especially when using the imperfect which in this context people often are.

    It’s not laymen, it’s a journalist.
