Wealth being
redistributed is a misnomer. It was never distributed in the first place, it was made by the productive activity of the wealth-creator. "Redistribution" hides the premise that the money that
they created is somehow
ours to take back. What I make is the product of my own work and effort--it is wholy mine--just as what is owned by the ultra-wealthy is entirely theirs. No one else has a right to claim it, because nobody has the right to another's life.
