like baraka guru said, this is an interesting topic, but the framing in this particular thread is so screwy that it kinda sucks the life out of it--even at the level of the title--which makes a distinction between the redistribution of wealth and a moral imperative---we'd have to fight through a thicket of assumptions which only begin to make sense in the inverted world of conservative ideology.

at this point, i see no reason to take that ideology seriously except as a sociological question--why do these curious arguments appeal to a particular limited social group?

it follows then that if you want a discussion, mcgeedo, it's incumbent on you to do a little work to make it happen.
step one is to translate your premises out of the cloud of rightwing gobble-de-gook that they currently framed in, and pose on that basis questions that are worth the trouble of addressing.
