Why is the reluctance on the part of some in the United States to redistribute income so the greater equality can be achieved? So in my sounds pretty good that we can achieve greater equality just by redistributing Ika, however, wish you noticed that the wealth in the whole society doesn't change at all when we redistribute income. So some people would argue that redistributing income is just to take the money from the rich and then give them to the poor, and that is a zero sum game. Therefore, by taking taxes from one group of people and then give them to the other group, the tax system is robbing some of the American dream, and those people would find a pretty unfair that they have to be taxed more on Lee because they aren't more than others or because they're wealthier.
