I’ve got bad news. Wealth isn't a number in your bank account that you can carve up and redistribute. Its the output of a properly managed system of assets and liabilities. If you just seize the outputs and give them away it will turn to ashes in the mouths of the recipients. They’ll have nothing after it’s spent while those who produce the wealth will have taken their knowledge and capabilities with them. All this has been tried before and it always fails because it’s the wrong way to solve the problem.
