If you want to advocate wealth distribution fine, do it openly and honestly, not under the guise of a "climate crisis" Of course most people understand wealth distribution is generally bad, and leads to terrible outcomes and rarely actually fairly and equitably distributes any wealth that is why it is almost universally rejected by the masses when tried. wealth distribution is normally simply a method to impose authoritarian governance on a population while claiming to be a social good, so more or less wealth distribution is the same scam as Carbon Offsets.

> Of course most people understand wealth distribution is generally bad Evidence to the contrary is the US progressive taxation policy, which is universally popular. In the absence of sane wealth redistribution mechanisms, wealth inevitably accumulates and stays at the top, at which point the vast power concentrated in a tiny group of hands hollows out democracy.

  >>US progressive taxation policy, That is not wealth redistribution, using a progressive tax policy for then direct payments is, but the vast majority of US Taxes are not used for that despite attempts to do so. Now if we get Single Payer health systems, UBI, etc then you would have a case. >>wealth inevitably accumulates Incorrect, in fact most of the reason why we have massive amounts of wealth inequality in the US is the failed policies of "war on poverty" as well as policies created in WWII like Price Controls on wages that forever changed the relationship of employers and employee's Government created the problem, only removing government regulations will resolve it,. More government is not the solution
