Redistribution, would not be necessary, if the wealth and income wasn't so poorly distributed in the first place. In fact, we should be talking about the proper distribution, with a BMI (Basic Minimum Income) or jobs program, or higher wages, not just the minimum but up the scale. And for Christ's sake, Democrats need to purge this idea of "free trade agreements," without tariffs. We KNOW they do not work, it isn't simplistic at all to say they are destroying the American Economy, and robbing us of jobs, and giving workers less, and less control. It's just accurate to say that.
