There is plenty of wealth transfer (or perhaps more accurately income transfer) in the real world, but the direction is from the wealthy (who pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes), to the less than wealthy (who are eligible for more government transfer programs, and who pay less in taxes, particularly in federal income taxes where many are not net payers at all

You are quite clearly fixated with tax policy, where the rich are asked to progressively help cover the cost of running the very country in which they have accumulated all that wealth...that's after the accumulation has occurred tim...

It doesn't show a transfer from the poor to the rich, again the transfer is the other way around.

Hence the poor closing the gap...right? Git it up will you...

You are making the assumption that the wealthy get little or no services from the government. That is false.
