It is your shoe and apparently it fits your foot as you
continue to concentrate on the individual making the
statement rather than the statement itself.

The problem with unequal income distribution is NOT
inequality. The problem is CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH
into the hands of fewer and fewer people. This is
what has an adverse effect on everyone, even the
comfortable middle class.
MJ:
Wealth is created not distributed.
Joshua:
Wealth is created by someone's labor. Then it's collected as
someone's private property. This is concentration #1. Then it's
taxed. Concentration #2. Then it's distributed by the government.
Distribution #1. Owners of excess capital (profit) invest that
money. Distribution #2. Investments are either lost, which leaves
them as a " distribution," or reap profits which further
concentrates wealth.
MJ:
The Government takes/spends only 20% GNP currently -- too large,
but not the concentration you claim.
Joe contracts with Stan to exchange a certain wage/benefit for
a task. Stan spends or saves this wealth. If he spends it,
he provides the funds to another for like activities. If he
saves it, he makes it available to others for like activities.
Perhaps Bastiat's simplified essay _That Which is Seen and That
Which is Not Seen_ will aid you in your studies.
Joshua:
Don't you get tired of being wrong?
MJ:
You have yet to prove such, instead only demonstrating your
own ignorance and irrationality.

Concentration of wealth = concentration of power through
the political and economic systems of any country BUT
ESPECIALLY IN A CAPITALIST COUNTRY. If you doubt this,
LOOK WHO IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!!
MJ:
America is NOT a Capitalist nation.
Joshua:
You are a ridiculous person.
MJ:
While that may or may not be, such does not change the fact
cited above; America is NOT a Capitalist nation.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
