Wealth distribution is good as long as it goes to the rich (capitalism) but if it goes to the poor? No no, that's bad (socialism)
something that leftists, and socialists in particular, never seem to get: wealth has to be created before it can be redistributed.
capitalism is producing a too top-heavy distribution of wealth, but it is also producing a lot of wealth to begin with.
socialism leads to a fairer distribution of what's available, but it has an abysmal track record at building or sustaining wealth, and often times fails to even cover the people's most basic needs.
