Increase taxes on wealthy people and give it to poorer people so that almost everyone is better off. How is this a bad idea again?

Why not to increase taxes on poorer people and give it to wealthy people, so that almost everyone is better off? How this is a bad idea again?

Would you please stop posting ideological flamebait to HN? We've asked you before, and you've done it twice in the last 24 hours. Not cool.
