It seems to me that poor people spend their money, rich people save them.
Technically, saving is investment, but it can be an investment on the opposite side of the planet, while spending is typically near. And the point is to make the money bubble from one poor person to another, not to end up somewhere in Silicon Valley after two or three jumps.
Also, from the point of “what if a dictator takes the money”, taxing the supermarkets is probably easier than taxing the poor.
