- burfog 8y agoIt's a lot more pretty than the alternative. There are multiple places around the world that experimented with redistribution, and some are still doing it. You aren't about to move to one of those places, are you? Ignore the rich for a moment, put aside that jealousy, and ask yourself what it is like to be a typical or lower-income person in a place like Venezuela or Zimbabwe after things got redistributed. There is something deeply wrong with advocating for redistribution in your own country when you could simply migrate to a country that has implemented the policy you desire.
