Redistribution

Post by Martin Hash » Thu Jan 18, 2018 10:04 am

The distinction between wealth redistribution as maintenance, versus redistributing out of envy, is a subtle one. You can tell which-is-which by who is intended to be redistributed to & who is redistributed from.

From Middle Class to Rich: Conservatives
From Middle Class to Poor: Progressives
From Rich to Middle Class: Liberals
From nobody to nobody: Libertarians (as long as that lasts.)

Robin Hood Economics, is not the way to run an economy, it's a zero sum game. The economy should be based on win-win scenarios, not win-lose scenarios, for the sake of economic growth.

Yeah, I’m not sure what compelled MH to regurgitate the MSM narrative here.

“Hey guys, conservatives want to screw everyone over for the rich, but liberals and progressives want to take from the rich and give to the less fortunate”.

There are much better ways to help the poor and the the middle class than stealing from the rich, and there are much better ways to help the rich than stealing from the poor and middle class, protip.

I want to take money from the wealthy and distribute it as cash prizes for deadly arena gladiatorial combat. Where do I fall on this spectrum?
