In reply to the discussion: So really ... what is wrong with redistributing wealth? [View all]Avalux
(35,015 posts)I believe there's plenty of money to go around, and those who have most of it (1%), should be compelled to share and help out those who don't. There are some who are philanthropic and do this, however most hoard it and want more more more (how much money does a person actually need?). As we know, these people are all about gaming the system and doing whatever they can to not pay their fair share; they take advantage of those who have less every chance they get.
Government's role should be to regulate amassing huge amounts of wealth through closing loopholes and ensuring these people pay their fair share; in a perfect world, that money would be used to help those who need food and housing. There should be no hunger or homelessness in this country.
