Should wealth be redistributed?
That's a socialist idea, that some things should be collective and that government should run things like education, road building, etc. I preach homeschooling, private schooling, competition... Who's the government? The government created nothing. The only thing they can do is steal and rob people with a gun, and forcibly transfer wealth from one person to another. [1] Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless — keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory ... because of the work the rest of us did. [2] Sure, all wealth accrued in unlawful manner should be redistributed. Should wealth be redistributed?
