If you were in a business, and one division was not being charged and another was, you are moving the cost center. If this was for tax reasons (like the company I'm in is PROHIBITED from doing with its division that was recently acquired) then we'd be subsidizing them. You have a very limited understanding of subsidy that is not born out by the tax code. My interpretation IS supported by the laws of the U.S.

Your bank robber example is bad because it is criminal and not officially sanctioned. If it was legal to rob some banks and not others, it'd be more apt.
