“merely G-d reallocating the stuff that He owns, and bears no resemblance to when you reallocate the stuff that I own”
You own nothing. HaShem owns everything. The Rabbis issued a gezerah to require that the things that HaShem had lent to you be lent to a different person. Secular governments do the same thing for hundreds of years — at least since the enactment of the Poor Law in England in 1601 (versions of which were enacted by every colony).
“far better examples of quintessential right wing economists are Hayek and Friedman”
I have not criticized Hayek and Friedman. They knew what they were talking about! It is today’s right wingers who are opposing kind measures to help the poor that Hayek and Friedman supported who need to be called out. (In addition to supporting negative income taxes, both supported forcing people to purchase health insurance.)
“the right answer is somewhere in the middle.”
Absolutely. My criticism has been directed towards the right wingers because there aren’t many socialists in the frum community these days.
