>>If you have big groups of people doing badly, it's for a reason. Convenient cliches are not enough to answer the question. All the tax redistribution in the world seems not to make an iota of difference. But it does cripple the producers.<< Well, it sounds to me as if your mind is made up already. Is there any reason to discuss this any further? Because I'd really rather not. If you can't see how meaningless the things you are saying are, I don't think you're ever going to get it. "Tax redistribution", by which I assume you mean social assistance, isn't predicated on race or ethnicity, at least not in any country I am aware of. Nor are people taxed on the basis of race or ethnicity. Further, the magnitude of government subsidies to corporations, schools, universities, research facilities, libraries, and to business interests and intellectual interests in general puts the lie to your implication that redistribution is for the poor.
