You don't understand the fundamental principles of capitalism. People 
earn income commensurate with their tastes and talents. Capital is 
accumulated when those with spare cash have the ability to defer 
gratification, a superior moral type. So those who've accumulated 
income and capital deserve it; those who haven't just don't cut the 
mustard. These redistributionist schemes of yours are just storms of 
resentment against those better than yourself. One should not 
interfere with the natural order, and as everyone knows, the market 
is the natural, universal form of social organization.
