[zhaebjrf] Income redistribution

It seems practically a settled matter through examining history that if income redistribution is done purely on a voluntary basis, either by deliberate government (non-)policy, or the government is too weak to do it, then an ugly stratified society develops, with lots of discrimination happening in the voluntary donations.

So the government has to do it, though a government that does it too much of it might not survive for very long: people who don't want "their" money being redistributed to Not One Of Us will rebel.  Or, the government might need to be discriminatory about income redistribution in order to survive (this will happen through politics), but hopefully not as discriminatory as individuals left to their own devices.
