No. Among ideas that are actually being seriously considered by politicians today, I can think of nothing worse than the idea that the government should pay everyone's healthcare costs.

Your favorable view of coercion is sickening.

What? How are they taking advantage of the poor? They're not doing anything to the poor.

Uh, no. The poor are not forced to do anything by the rich.

And I already posted the social mobility statistics.

No, they're not.

You don't seem to understand what social mobility means.

Your second sentence does not support the first. The fact is you've got things exactly backwards. The rich do not harm the poor, they help them. No exchange ever takes place in the free market unless both parties believe they benefit.

The fact that there is social mobility does not mean there aren't counterexamples.
