In Some Ways, The Rich Value a Dollar More

A standard class warfare suggestion is that a dollar is not as valuable to a rich man as a poor man, thus redistribution won't hurt the rich man, or hurt him hardly at all, while the poor man will be helped out of proportion to any loss to the rich man. Unfortunately, this is a lie. To the poor man a dollar is just a dollar, and to the rich man a dollar can just be a dollar too; but to the rich man a dollar can be one of the many molecules that comprise financial security.
Financial security means you can work, and yet call out the higher ups when they do something incompetent because it doesn't matter to you financially if they fire you or not. It opens doors. There are social possibilities open to you- especially in terms of freedom not to conform.

This is why governments instinctively want to take financial security away from people. Make a dollar just a dollar, and everybody must pretend the persons giving out the checks are actually telling the truth. If you feel a moral obligation to the truth, you also have to be resigned to the possibility that you and yours will starve.

Take from the rich and give to the poor and you hurt the poor as well as the rich. The poor stay poor and now the independent voices in society increasingly get crushed, because even those who seem rich are dependent (indeed the upper middle class in this society is seriously compromised in this regard) on perpetuating the fraud that the masters insist upon.
