Thats correct. "Influenced"...
But the fact remains:
The winners will always come out on top, and the losers will end up with the dregs.
I suppose you want to make it more difficult for the winners to succeed and less lucrative.
Further your logic then demands that it is easier for losers to win(?), and more lucrative.
That is the conclusion of your socialist desires, and defies all logic.
There is one thing the liberals never quite explain in their wealth distribution world: Who gets to decide (power) which purse strings are pulled?
Power is like money, its a zero sum game. If you strip one class of power, by necessity another class gains power. Power is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transfered.
Capitalists want power to be in the hands of the people, and Socialists want power to be in the hands of government.
Now explain to my Larry why in your right mind would you give up control of your life to the government? and If your so hell bent on redistributing wealth, how much of your annual income do you give to your poor neighbors?

Not quite. Under our system there's a substantial middle class - called that for obvious reasons. And - supposedly - a rising tide lifts all boats. Isn't that what touts for our system are always saying?
I suppose you want to make it more difficult for the winners to succeed and less lucrative.
The last part is true.
There is one thing the liberals never quite explain in their wealth distribution world: Who gets to decide (power) which purse strings are pulled?
Your argument - carried to an extreme - is might is right. And that's true; he who wields the sword calls the shots. Who wields the sword? Different cultures and societies have different methods of deciding. The dominant one imposes its will on the others.
Capitalists want power to be in the hands of the people, and Socialists want power to be in the hands of government.
Not quite. Capitalists want power to be in the hands of capitalists, socialists want power to be in the hands of socialists, everyone wants power for themselves.

Even to put it that way is to answer the question in the negative. But put it another way and you get a different answer; I devote a fair amount of time to beneficial civic activities and our community recently voted to tax itself to support a community hospital.

So TR was a communist? You need to do some serious rethinking.
