The solution is to tax, or failing
that eat, the rich.

This notion comes from the naive idea that the government has a better use for the money than the money's rightful owners.

There is also the problem that money is not the end-all-be-all of economy. If you have a system of money redistribution in place in order to ensure the poor have money and the rich don't have as much, but the productive fabric of the country is damaged, then buying a loaf of bread will be still worth 50 bucks and poor people will still be poor people.

Specifically, when you adjust the economic machine to ensure the low and middle classes have money but you don't have a productive fabric in place, what you get is runaway inflation and people unable to secure affrdable food and housing. I am sure this rings a bell.

Of course it rings a bell. It's called "Socialism" and it's never worked in the history of the world.

You cannot "ensure the low and middle classes have money" and have a productive fabric in place. They are mutually exclusive.

But you Ignorant Elitists keep pushing your agenda, no matter how much it keeps failing.

Which, as we've established that the government is not usually looking out
for their population's interests, is an incorrect notion.

People who vote for left-leaning candidates do not understand this.

Runaway inflation is part of what lead to the rise of the Nazi's in
Germany, and the rise of other totalitarian regimes (both fascist and communist) in other places.

They don't understand economics, human nature, ... really, they don't understand anything. They just go with what makes them feel good.

Yup. It's worked before. Have the gov't create problems. Then they get lots of voters telling the gov't to fix the problems they created. When the gov't ask for more power to do that, the voters give it to them. Soon the gov't has all the power.
