re: #214 wozzablog

I wish that made sense to me. One of the great gaping differences between what i feel and the people you describe.

If i hear about redistribution - i don’t think about rich peoples money entering my personal pocket, i hear it going into a local school or hospital which is for everybody.

And besides, the poorest are getting tax cuts, which means they can keep more of their own money, it’s not that of some rich fellah entering their jeans pocket.

Libraries are income redistribution.
Fire departments are income redistribution.
Bridges.
Police.
Schools. Parks.

All these things take money, and they redistribute it. They take hard earned money by humans in the US, and the redistribute that money to apply it to a landscaper maintaining a park, or a teacher’s salary, or traffic infrastructure.
