> Person A works long hard hours to achieve something. > Person B does not. Person A subsidizes person B. I'll leave aside whether there's a direct coorelation between hard work and income... Your example presumes that Person A has the opportunity to do hard work in exchange for a financial reward. The worry is that there's no work for Person A at all, because there's not enough consumer demand to employ him, because nobody else has a job either, because the few people who do have money are quite comfortable with what they have already and don't spend enough to keep many employed.
