When the goal is profit above all else and not balancing the needs of people in a constantly changing economic climate, it's going to seem like the people's needs are the problem if companies are being thoroughly selfish

If you literally starve without the job, it isn't charity anymore, it's bordering on exploitation based on the idea you have no other recourse.

The balance is recognizing that if companies don't pay their fair share, we have less resources to work with in society from their work. When they hoard their profits, it doesn't always work in the way some apologists would suggest, because they can funnel those profits right back into themselves and have no regulation on them depending on the nature of the charity

One of Marine le Pen's points was companies would not pay tax if they raised

the minimum wage by 10%.

The more people that are employed the more the state has in income.

Owning a company is not for free, the product has to be developed the whole time,

Example,
Saab, now shut down, it took 10 years from idea, drawing board to finally testing the new model and introducing it on the market.

With all the people involved in such a venture from cleaners to skilled engineers.

costs money, much money.

Here is the thing I believe is important,
one should never forget where they come from.

Not to be envious of the rich and wealthy,

And I refer to the "new rich" those with sharp elbows who climb over corpses

to reach the top of the ladder.

Life is a balance, like walking on the edge of a knife.

To the left is an abyss and to the right there is an abyss.

I am no politician but I have made observations.

Adam Bowen of Casa Grande, Arizona made threats on online Social Media (Call of Duty chat) and was reported to Law Enforcement, averting the danger.

Two teen girls in Kingman, AZ were just arrested for making threats to shoot up their school, also after Law Enforcement was made aware of their activities. Last October, another teen girl from Utah was similarly arrested, after being reported to Law Enforcement.

Uvalde shooter Salvadore Ramos was bullied for years, his actions became increasingly violent, first against himself (cutting his face) and then against others, and even then only after a long while of Social Media posts back and forth with others including words like "shoot the school" and "you'll see".

Mass school shootings revolve around bullying and are typically telegraphed ahead of time on Social Media.

If parents & schools had "online Cyber-Neighborhood Watch" then they would be aware of the central issue (bullying) and know of extreme dangers in advance.

"Forewarned is forearmed" + "knowing is half the battle" (for wont of worthier words)
