Seriously, what's wrong with you?
I'll try to simplify this as much as I possibly can and I'll just hope you then understand. If not, I give up.
Let's reduce the entire US population to 5. 1 of those 5 pays nearly the entire tax bill and the top two pay it all combined. The bottom three, in varying degrees, receive money from the top two (via welfare, housing & energy assistance, tuition grants, food stamps, free cell phones, etc...)
Do you now understand how that "tax money" taken from the top two is "redistributed" or are you already lost? Is this simplified version what you call a "cockamamie delusion"?
