The government should not take away money or wealth for that matter from rich people and give it away to the poor people. The role of the government is not to regulate the economy but to safeguard the rights of its citizens. It should not attempt to reallocate wealth as this is the corresponding of legally authorized theft. Thus taking away from those who earn and to giving to those who don’t is in addition to being ethically in the wrong, as a prior position points out, combining the power of government over a persons finances, is far deeply wrong. May be that is the genuine reason governments engage in carrying out of self-aggrandizement, but illustrate it as fairness for all policy.
Without doubt, no society flourishes when a small number of people have power over everything, and the many have nothing. Neither does a society succeed when the government controls economies through taxes, and act as if everyone is economically the same and there is classless society. But this is precisely what those who are in government put forward. If government did its job in upholding a level market and letting economic activity to flourish, the level of economic activity would increase, there would be a small number of people who would become very wealthy, together with those many that would become reasonably well to do as well.
On the other hand, government isn’t paying attention in reducing poverty, but relatively the contrary. The government is paying brim services to reducing poverty while destabilizing economic activity, they then come in with a new plan to deceive the wealthy, “help” the poor, create class warfare, and sit back and enjoy the spoils. The day government desires to in fact diminish poverty will be the day you’ll see government remove itself from its role of bleeding its citizens white through taxes.
