Confiscation of wealth and apportionment to favored groups? Yes.
But something that is not ‘distributed’ cannot be ‘redistributed’.
Excellent point!!! But, doesn't that, then, perfectly describe the arrogant and empty mindset or world view of the great "redistributionist-in-chief"?
The settlers of America, on their own, and without any organized government oversight, by 1775 had created an economy which was unheard of previously. Any who doubt that, might wish to read Edmund Burke's 1775 "Speech on Conciliation . . ." before the British Parliament. Burke provided statistical detail to prove that point, attributing such economic success to the colonists' "spirit of liberty."
BTW, love the Samuel Adams quotation on your "about" page:
"Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty." - Samuel Adams
