Comment: I agree this is poor way of thinking about wealth

I agree this is poor way of thinking in terms of wealth. I always invoke a fundamental question about distribution of wealth that leaves my friends stranded. How will I know if my Wealth gets distributed to those people who really need it? how will i know that the government wont profit from collecting my wealth? How will I know if my profits are not distributed to a selected few? It certainly doesn't show that the Government is going a very good job at helping the poor in the first place, but Government certainly does favor the Rich.

with this in mind it does seem Socialism is a big bail out for the rich doesn't it?

important practical questions we all should be asking as we educate our left neighbors.
