Ah... you're polishing off that old chestnut of a myth
Myth? You've seen the income distribution gap charts, right. That is REAL. Do you really think that is good for the future of this country? Isn't that one of the major red flags that a country is on the precipice of sliding into third world status?
What people earn as negotiated with their employer (or as the business owner) for compensation for their decisions, labors, inventions, efforts, etc is not governmental wealth redistribution.. I don't care if you negotiate 10MIL for your next job or 10K... you earning the higher figure is not wealth redistribution from the poor to the rich, and it certainly is not redistribution at the hands of the government... you see, the concept of a free society allows you to negotiate what you can get and decide what to do with it... if you do, you do, and if you don't you don't... because someone else has an idea for a company or product that leads to them making 10BIL a year, does not mean that you are entitled to it... but you are indeed free to come up with whatever you can in your attempt to earn as much as you can possibly get
You are jumping all over the place here in an attempt to get me to agree that there is wealth redistribution at the hands of government, from the poor to the rich.... and that's not going to happen...
