To: A. Pole

And what about it? Should we pass a law to ensure that no one makes too much money?

To: Sam's Army; A. Pole
And what about it? Should we pass a law to ensure that no one makes too much money?

I've been trying to get A.Pole to answer that question for some time now. His silence leads me to believe that he is adamantly in favor of wealth redistribution and government intervention to ensure, not only equal opportunity, but also equal outcome.

How about it, A.Pole: Do you stand for everyone's right to become rich and stay that way? There are only two ways to to get rid of economic inequality: give money to the poor, or take it away from the rich. But they amount to the same thing, because if you want to give money to the poor, you have to get it from somewhere. You can't get it from the poor, or they just end up where they started. You have to get it from the rich.

You could, of course, make the poor richer without simply shifting money from the rich. You could help the poor become more productive. This is the method that works in capitalist countries. Which of these two methods do you subscribe to? Are you for wealth redistribution or, are you for making the poor wealthier by increasing their productivity?
