Tax breaks for people who already have more money then they can spend fuel bubbles. It makes number go up even when the economic fundamentals are in the toilet.

Yes. If I have more money than I can spend I take a risk and invest that money in a company that has a productive use for that money. They hire people, do research, produce products and return the profits to me, the person who took a risk.

It's not a conspiracy.
