The problem of poverty WILL NOT be solved by taxing the rich for the benefit of the poor. To help the poor, the only ethical way is to help them GAIN THE MEANS to overcome their poverty: education*, job creation, economic independence.
You know the analogy, cliche as it is, that you can catch a man a fish and feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. It's the same principle that the socialist agenda crowd completely ignores.

Equitable distrubution of wealth. Right. How exactly is that good or healthy for anyone?

I love that fishing men analogy too. But you would be surprised on how many people in the world don't even have access to a fishing pole.
