Let’s say there are 100 tables in the world. If one person has 50 tables then it means everyone else has less. If mister tables aquires an additional table, can we agree it is coming from someone else ? Someone poorer. Even if the governement can make a new table to replace it, the fact that mr table is sucking up all tables on the market is still a problem for every one else.
You say they don’t have money, but if they live well, buy everything they want and influence the world as they see fit, I feel it’s disingenuous to say they don’t actually have money. They’re certainly sucking up your tables.
I’m going on a tangeant here, but it’s exactly why you don’t want your government to be cash positive. A government in the green is taking that money from someplace. A government in the red is actually helping everyone else not drown. It’s all a matter of where that money is going. That explains why the vast majority of countries run in the red. A government paying it’s own debt is the same as deleting money from the economy.
I do agree with your general sentiment though.

There is a finite amount of money in this world. For one person to have more means others have less. There is no going around that simple fact.
