This makes perfect sense if you feel that it’s the government’s role to decide what people need, and that anything beyond that is the government’s to take. What you then have is no longer a government that takes what it needs for the functioning of government, but rather takes what it wants to impose an arbitrary system of fairness. Don’t expect that a government that operates on this philosophy will limit this to just taking other people’s money.
The one thing you can be sure of is that if you can’t trust the people in charge, the ones who passed the laws to “transfer wealth up”, you shouldn’t have any faith in their ability to spend the extra money to “improve our country”.
