future wealth is less likely to be produced when people see that it is going to be confiscated.

Why bust yer azz to buy a Mazerati, when all they'll let you have is a Yugo?

The probability of this type of discussion on a libtard site is zero. In their world view historically proven truths are irrelevant. In their mind, redistribution would work “if only” they were in charge. Never mind that history has proven it never works! They forget that they are as human as those that they wish to rule, in their mind they are as perfect as gods and are uncorruptible.

We (FReepers) understand that as humans we are all corruptible, therefore we can not rule other men. That leads us to understand that we do not want to be ruled by other men. History has proven us right and progressives must deny history because it proves that they (and their vaunted leaders) are not gods.
