The Most Novel Idea in the History of Ideas and Books

     So just the other day in a class that shall go unnamed, I had a really interesting conversation where my teacher proposed the idea that if we took all the money the really rich people had and redistributed it to an active economy that it would boost our nation. Ha ha ha ha, no. The main endpoint here is social ownership and democratic control, which always results in no ownership rights as well as no sight of a free market.
     Lets check out real world examples of macro experiment of this. Belarus made in 1920. East Germany made in 1949. Benin made in 1975. Grenada made in 1979. and Albania formed in 1944, 1946, and once again in 1976. Surprise, surprise, they were all astronomical fails. First thing you should realize is that their money is already in an active economy, who the heck do you think is paying everyone's salaries and taxes? What do you think they're doing? Sitting around wiping their ass with golden toilet paper, eating silver coated hamburgers, and riding their private jets made out of diamond? No.
     Guess what furthermore than that fact that a mass inflation would ensue which would send the economy in a downward spiral. And you know what? The rich know that better than anyone. Besides their wealth is largely exaggerated, they are sometimes just propaganda numbers that are used to push socialist agendas. Heard of North Korea? Cuba? Venezuela? Now not to be insensitive, or rude, or anything but what words do you associate those countries with? Depleting, lagging, failing? 
     While all countries, societies, and governments eventually craft out to fail, it matters the specific way in which their collapse was brought on. The common trend between these dictatorship countries that I have been talking about is that it begins to subsidize and redistribute the newfound wealth. Then the currencies is debased, debt is greatly increased, and the military gets stretched to the limit.
     The Roman Empire is a perfect example for this. Here is one of the greatest of the ancient civilizations, perhaps the best of them all. There are many factors that equivocate it as such an amazing country, it united almost all of the known world with military prowess even losing four major battles and still winning a far, unparalleled infrastructure in their vast network of towns cities and roads, and also their superior legal culture but I don't need any of that to convince you how great they were. This should just about sum up their awesomeness: after the fall of the Roman Empire "The Dark Ages" ensued which lasted for 500 years. Ok, now if you aren't convinced how amazing the idea of taking rich peoples wealth and giving it to the government, a very trusted corporation who should without a doubt be trusted to distribute large sums of money, is with this... essay then I don't know what I can tell you.
