You don't fix this through income redistribution. You fix it by offering free/cheap education, healthcare, etc. this generally requires taxes and, yes, the wealthiest should bear the most.
But it's not about taking from the rich and giving to the poor.
It's about creating opportunities for the poor.
- jedberg 7y ago> You fix it by offering free/cheap education, healthcare, etc. That's just income redistribution with a middle man. To be clear, I'm all for those things and I think they will help, but don't pretend it's not income redistribution, which mostly hits the mini-rich and not the ultra-rich.
- jopsen 7y agoYes, it's also redistribution -- but you redistribute a very small part to get growth which is what does the trick...
