Answer:
subsidies
Explanation:
A subsidy is an amount of money given to a private business by a government entity (either national, state or local) in order to help the business lower the sales price of a commodity or a service that they offer. In many countries, different governments subsidize fuels, utilities, certain foods, etc.
The logic behind subsidies is that low income families benefit from lower prices, but most of the time subsidies help high income families more. For example, in a country that subsidizes electricity, the people who benefit the most are the owners of large houses that use a lot of electricity.
