Short Link to this Quote:
Jon Stewart is a comedian and former television host and his statement about giving money to wealthy people being harmless was likely intended as a joke saying that giving money to people who are already wealthy does not have the same negative effects as giving money to those who do not have it.
He implies that when people who are struggling financially receive handouts, it can corrupt them and create a sense of dependency. On the other hand, people who are already wealthy have a “money immunity” and are less likely to be negatively affected by receiving handouts.
