Robin Hood economics

De Cato sobre los EE.UU. pero aplica perfectamente a la Argentina y otros países:

The concept of "income distribution" is fundamentally muddled. Aside from government subsidies and transfer payments, income is not "distributed" at all. Most income is either earned or stolen. If some group's income was earned by legitimate means, then it is their income, not "ours." To complain that 10 percent earned too large a percentage of our income is to forget that they actually earned 100 percent of their own income.

Unfortunately, the eternal ambition of Robin Hood economics is to steal money from those who earned it and "redistribute" it to those with more political clout. When in pursuit of such a worthy cause, it appears quite respectable to torture innocent statistics. Those deploying statistics in this campaign take special care to select their favorites.
