Wealth redistribution ought to be effected in order to ensure the total happiness of society is maximized. Mill, anyone?
Yet utilitarianism is essentially unjust; it violates individual rights under the guise of working for the "common good," whatever that means. Majoritarian tyranny, anyone?
It's not right for some people to have more stuff. The rich get richer, etc.
Actually, when the rich get richer, the poor also get richer. Try learning basic economics, and also try letting people keep what they earn.
Gimme stuff!
Ramblings of an idiot or a brilliant reductio ad absurdum? I report, you decide.
