I can't believe you- you are raising the redistribution of wealth as the very specter of socialism, then essentially agreeing with me that most of what as I said: 'taxation in any country with a social safety net' is exactly redistribution of wealth. Then, you lecture me about staying away from economic issues?
Man, you are a hypocrite. A Hyperventallating one at that.
And no, redistribution of wealth does not entail that there can be no benefit by those so taxed- take the CEO who collects social security, or the engineer who collects unemployment one year and pays taxes the next. Take the Land Lord who buys investment property in an area that could never afford schools, sewer systems, roads and bridges without the economic input of neighboring areas.
Your model of how the world works is silly, TB, it might work just fine as a literary device in some trashy Rand novel, but itt fains upon encountering reality. You lecturing me about lack of education is a farce.

re: putting NASA, the military, and welfare into the same category indicates that you should really stay away from economic issues.
