I meant taking from the rich to give to the poor.

The problem with all of your discussions of inequality is that when you fail to challenge the fundamental assumption of the Left, that taking from the rich reduces inequality, you concede it, and are ever after on the defensive.

If you know that the policy is counterproductive, as, by now, you should know, why are you keeping it a secret? Whose side are you on?
