I’m not in favour of a government mandating equality of outcomes for all, but to suggest that doing so would lower the living standard for
everyone isn’t accurate. If last year in the US over 80% of all the wealth created went to 1-2% of the population, redistributing any amount of that money could only have a direct negative impact on 2% of the population max, and even then how much of an impact(if any) that the redistribution actually has on that 1-2%’s quality of life would vary.
