You are quite clearly fixated with tax policy Your talking about wealth or income transfers. Taxes are a major portion of that. Taxes are how the income is taken, they are mostly taken from the rich, showing that the transfer is from the rich. Creation and accumulation isn't transfer. Taking from one and giving to another is. 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? Wrong. If I take $100 a day from a very rich person, who's pushing a business to become more and more successful, he'd probably be "pulling away" from me "increasing the gap" between us, even though the transfer is to me. Sure I would be transferring his money to me, but he'd be generating income faster than I was transferring it.
