If I may ask, what do you mean by wealth distribution?
Do you mean equalizing wealth, like literally ensuring that everyone has the same amount of net-worth?

This is not complex, taking your money and distributing as the government seems fit dependent upon how much you make aka hit a specific threshold of income.

Based on your definition, you mean taxation..Correct me if I am wrong with your view of wealth distribution.

OK simple terms...raising taxes higher on certain individuals solely based on their success at a number at which a government says is justified to subsidize individuals who are less successful also knows as equity redistribution or creating a false sense of financial equality in mass.

Taxation in pure form is done to in essence to fund infrastructure and military power, not social ills (i.e. medicare, ss, etc)

Simple, your either for it or you aren't.


Since you haven't picked a position yet, my guess is your attempting to validate wealth redistribution in your mind
