I reject that you can redistribute wealth that has lasting effect. Wealth is built or destroyed. You can help people learn to build wealth.

"I reject that you can redistribute wealth that has lasting effect. Wealth is built or destroyed. You can help people learn to build wealth."

It's the old "You can give a man a fish, or teach him how to fish" principle. Still sound, I think, with some qualifications, e.g., there are some people who because of age or infirmity cannot take care of themselves and need assistance.
