roachboy, i see you've completely avoided the inevitable results of 'wealth redistribution' by merely stating that it will reduce the contrast between the classes, while at the same time trying to spin your way around what capitalism is by saying that I define capitalism by todays marketplace. Nowhere have I said that todays republican/conservative model of the marketplace is capitalism, in fact, it's closer to the socialist/communist/fascist side of socio-economic principles because of the numerous barriers placed in the way of any entreprenuer in the form of licenses, permits, and insurance.
the version of wealth redistribution that you wish to implement upon this country will warp and inhibit any, and nearly all, economic growth because it will take away any incentive for people to make advances in any market. Why should I, as a potential company starter, wish to work as hard as I can to make it successful when the people that I'm making a product for are going to have the government abscond even more of my profit margin for the people that DID NOT want to work as hard as I did?
