"It amounts to saying that we should have fairly high taxes, and redistribute most of the money as a minimal income to every person." It is called disguised communism. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. The redistributors redistribute to their friends and family first, then on their party, and then the rest so now you have people living really well, most people living bad, like today, but with no connection between generating wealth and being rewarded by it at all. Don't let me wrong, this works, for a while. Until you get to consume all the savings of the productive society. And nobody wants to work anymore. Then societies collapse(Venezuela has 40% inflation per month now, Cuba, URSS) Some of my family members come from communist countries. I don't want some political commissar to decide who deserve what and who doesn't. I believe in distributed power, not centralized authority. Technology is making distributed power efficient again, with computers in every pocket and inexpensive 3d printers, laser cutters and CNC mills. Ironically we are supporting too centralized, too big to fail business.
