That money might just as easily have been taken from someone who never worked a day in their life, just like the undeserving poor. Except for having been born to the right parents. You know, the ones that can afford to spoil them with toys instead of teaching them to take care of themselves
Unless you want to argue that all tax money comes from such people, this is not even an argument. "Tax money comes from bad people!" No it doesn't.
As for me, I have "earned" more money getting other people to work for me than ever I did by working myself.
Organizing people to work together to produce value is adding value. It's leadership.
The point is, if wealth is tied up in static resources, it hurts the economy, and if you hurt the economy bad enough, even rich people can suffer. A society filled with envy is not a stable society, nor is one that's full of desperate people. One way or another, money must circulate. Better via "theft" at tax time than via bloody revolution, I think.
Wealthy people don't sit on their money. They use their wealth to buy income-generating assets, like rental property, or stocks, or invest in ideas.
The idea that wealth is generated by moving money is retarded. If that were the case, we should print a trillion dollar bill and pass it around in a circle all day to create the wealthiest society in history!
Wealth is created by building useful things/ideas, and a major driver of that wealth production is voluntary win-win transactions. Involuntary transactions (tax the rich to give to poor) are win-lose, and likely to destroy wealth, in the transfer and in the redirected use of the money.
You don't "love" somebody when you refuse to do anything in the name of not doing something counter-ideological. Or expect someone to step up an volunteer to do it for you. If volunteerism were all that common, then Communism would have been successful. It failed because people wouldn't do enough without being granted incentive.
Your desire to create a society where the "idle poor" are given stuff just because they exist has so much in common with Communism ("from each according to ability, to each according to need"), I'm boggled that you're criticizing that ideology for being impractical.
You love the poor by embracing the impractical and unsustainable? How does that work?
