re: Redistribution is taking from A and giving to B.

If you reduce the amount you take and turn around and give, then you have reduced redistribution.


Distribution is current. When Bush cut taxes on the wealthy it was redistribution, a change. The only way to semantically "reduce redistribution" is to reverse the tax cuts.

But: that is redistribution... isn't it? I suppose you could go back to any point in time (and I'm sure old anal Tim will) and talk about reducing-increasing-reducing-increasing re-re-re-distribution.

Must be hell in your mind.

What is your goal from this discussion? You both seem correct to me.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Of course they are. Do you know anything about liability? You think this shit is free?

Things being free has nothing to do with it. Reducing the amount you take from someone isn't redistributing money towards him.


Okay. Forget redistribution.....what you do have for sure is a shortfall. What do you do about the shortfall?
