A Noble Experiment...
In one of my first internet chat room debates, a guy told me that all "income redistribution" (progressive taxation and social programs) was pointless because the richer people got that way by being smarter. In fact, he added, if you redistributed all the income equally among everyone, the rich people would soon have it all again.
Well, I replied, there's only one way to prove that.
He didn't answer that.
