We should do that democratically.

A majority of people who can't even read a balance sheet have some magical ability to determine if a person rightfully earned the money or not? Fascinating.

Already covered. It's in my interests for the govt to give me some of your money. But, I would vote against that because I'm a decent person.

inasmuch as Republican commoners continuously and stupidly vote against their own interests it's very difficult for us to decide, on top of the problem highlighted by the linked study: this is not a democracy but a game rigged against us.

Seems like a good argument for less government. You know, the least of a necessary evil or something to that effect.

But instead you seem to prefer to enlarge the government by continuously moving things like healthcare, job creation, education, and even the amount of pay people should be allowed to receive under the enlightened and astute auspices of this magnificent oligarchy.
