Very good reply.
Seems we think that taking money by force from one person to give to another isn't proper.
We don't like to think of it in quite so stark terms but that is what these distribution plans boil down to.
I prefer to look at those who make more and aspire to do the same through my own efforts rather than vilify them.

  When George Bush took power, the FIRST thing he did was kill the inheritance tax.
  Now, all of the money owned by the top 1% will go to their children. If you areen't one of those, good luck emulating the billionaire moguls.
  The top super rich are leaving the rich behind at an exponential rate. The rich are writing the regulations for taxing the rich.

  ...and yet, Robin Hood is still widely regarded as the hero, and Prince John the villain of the story. Odd, isn't it?
