> Redistribution as a macro government policy is still not advisable.
Why not? It has worked very well in the past.
> Government cannot allocate resources well however well intended.
Your primary example is probably the US government, which hasn't wanted to do this well since Reagan. Instead, the focus has been to undermine its effect in order to justify cutting programs. But more benevolent governments have had much better success.
> Stop subsidizing corporate america.
I agree with that. The US has been redistributing wealth, but they've been redistributing it upward, rather than downward.
But the US could do a lot to improve equality of opportunity by providing better public education, more affordable advanced education, and more affordable healthcare. Those three are low hanging fruit with massive returns on investment.
