No one is talking about taking money from your pocket and transfering it into the pocket of someone that is not willing to work. But we were - we were precisely discussing direct redistribution (spreading) of wealth from those working, via tax, to others (presumably although not specifically stated as not working), and how the recipients may come to feel "entitled" to such money as a "right". That's how Karen clarified the discussion when I raised the purchase of services &c: she excluded those from her area of concern.
