   you take the short view.....    redistribution is going to destroy   
   wealth creation and the "real GDP" won't grow and our National wealth   
   won't grow.  If you notice, in a healthy capitalist economy, the rich   
   get richer and the poor all have toilet paper and big FLAT SCREEN TV's   
   which is more than they have in CUBA.   
      
      
   That will mean the poor will get a short term bump in their personal   
   wealth while the Nation takes along term loss of wealth, from   
   redistribution.   
      
      
   Socialists redistribution is a short term feel good ploy to buy short   
   term support to win elections and power.  Even the Socialists know that   
   they will in the long term redistribute and concentrate all the money   
   into the hands of the politically ELITE SOCIALISTS just like Venezuela   
   and Cuba keep the money for the elite Socialists.
