I have a hard time understanding that, since in my view our gov’t always re-distributes wealth, mostly in bulk forms to foreign nations.
Then, as the US population gets more poor, the same gov’t re-distributes what’s left of the US domestic wealth to the victims of globalization. Food stamps, welfare in general, space and defense, environment employees and infrastructure spending etc is all WELLFARE.
Its time to be optimistic, because things got so bad, the status quo itself is hurting, is getting thrown under the bus.
