Raise the minimum wage, and prices go up to compensate. The poor remain where they are.
Take from the rich and give to the poor, and you take away the incentive to be productive. And you have to use the government to do it, which means increasing the size of the government. And government workers already make far more than the average worker, so you increase the vicious circle. That is what got us into trouble in the first place, not individuals amassing wealth.
