The old Canadian social credit theory is indeed a form of income redistribution. While the original proposal never got off the ground, the modern welfare state must have gotten a few ideas from it. What I like about it is the concept that we are all shareholders in the national economy, and should get regular dividends as a matter of right. I don't think there would be a means test either, everybody would get equal shares, the rich and the poor alike. If we are going to have income redistribution, I prefer that concept to the idea of taking from the rich to give the poor just enough to maintain them in poverty. The Democrats seem bent on reducing everybody to the lowest common denominator, probably because poor people tend to vote Democrat.

I was kind of a Luddite in my younger days but, the older I got, the more I appreciated things like power tools and computers. Modern technology is a wonderful thing, until it doesn't work. Then we wonder how people got along without it before it was invented but, of course, they did.

Uncle Ken, it looks like the Google Machine saved your work as a draft when you had that glitch in your system. You might want to consider deleting the draft, since you started all over again afterwards.
