When it comes to things like "stealing from the rich and giving to the poor", the lines become very gray and ambiguous. For example, which rich person or group of people are you talking about? Do you mean the Walmart family? A family who owns a corporation that reinvests very little money in comparison to what in generates back into the USA? A corporation that is largely, if not solely responsible from the complete and utter destruction of small business in the USA?
There are many rich families that own corporations whom, whether you believe it or not, although they do pay a lot of taxes and produce low-paying, non-satisfactory, depressing jobs, do more harm than good. These companies are responsible for the fact that there is no longer capitalism in the US, just the illusion. The immense amount of control they have over the market impedes true capitalism from even having a chance.
I know many people argue that the money you make is your money, and I agree, but when you have a situation like the one you currently have in America, finding a solution that doesn't violate someones right is difficult. I mean, who's more wrong here, a small group of people controlling a market used by million upon millions, which in turn crushed small business, caused the stock market to crash, and send millions to the unemployment lines... or the poor, who take money from the rich?
Blurry lines...
