Wtf? No it's not. The government should never have a hand in deciding who gets what. Because they will never enrich the poor, they'll just toss them scraps while enriching the hand that feeds them I.e corporations.

A free market system is the only one where the poor have a legit shot at making something of themselves. It's no coincidence that over time income inequality has risen as the Govt has gotten more involved in welfare, the economy and regulations. If you want to reduce income inequality them you should support less government and more free markets

Go study some political theory, we talking political systems not gov'ts. Political systems dictate who receives what. Our political system has said its the "market" that gets to decide that, but a communist state would use a different theory on allocation of assets. Its one of the most basic questions you ask - well how are we going to decide who gets what.

I do agree a free market system has a better shot at determining who receives what. But that doesn't mean it doesn't have flaws.

The biggest flaw is that we really don't have free markets.
