You're confirming what we've been saying about liberals and economics. To use Ten's example, how did the Facebook founders quick increase of wealth by several billion dollars redistribute money from the non-rich to the rich? If everyone percentage share of the total pie is supposed to stay static, how much should you and me have gotten as our share of that increase in wealth?

The percentage of the fiscal pie that belongs to the rich has grown larger at a faster rate than the lesser classes. That means their percentage of the total pie has grown larger. Money is getting redistributed to the rich. When a person MAKES money it really isn't what you'd call "redistribution". It is "earning". "Redistribution" is when the government takes your money and gives it to someone who didn't earn it.
