BOR, the high wage earners return money by giving the low wage earners jobs or supervising them so they do their jobs right and we all benefit. Redistribution of wealth benefits only politicians in the end and that is why they push it because naive people think it is “the right thing to do” when really it breeds dependency.
All you do by redistributing wealth is encourage people to stay home and produce nothing but children, who then grow up unwanted and undisciplined (or deformed because their mothers had money to use on crack). Those kids become a drain on the economy and a menace to the well-being of decent citizens.
They also spend more. Especially in our world, sometimes it is just one or two “gvirim” who keep a small store going because everyone else is using the credit book. I have a friend in that situation with his food shop back in the US – if he didn’t have a few wealthy regulars (and a side business) he’d have gone out long ago because his credit book is a chessed and he’s not a crook who takes shtempelach on prepared food etc.
