roachboy, taxation is the process of taking from the populace to pay for the government. it's been around for thousands of years. its purpose isn't to redistribute wealth to the needy, it's to pay for the govt. its use for redistribution is a recent phenomenon.

Not that complicated, really, and I have to wonder why you are complexifying something so simple.
