redistribution of wealth. If I earn it, I keep it. It is not up to anyone, not even the government, to decide that what I earn should go to someone else.
Then why is the gov't redistributing the wealth only in the direction of the rich? Who gets the tax breaks?
Or, better - if you or I go bankrupt, we'll be in debt forever. When Walmart street gamblers lose their profits (but not exactly their pants nor their golden parachutes), now the fed has to come to bail them out? Just like they did for air transport, fake farmers, like they did for other industries at the time...
Somehow the market means that you risk and make profit or go bust... unless you're already rich enough, then there'll be a nice piece of pork, or a gov't contract, or a simple grant or whatever.
There was a proverb "we don't mind privileges, as long as everybody enjoys them". This is the oposite: "we are against the state redistributing the wealth, unless we are the recipients".
