You mean those people that get welfare payments - they actually have their wealth taken from them and transferred to the likes of Steve Jobs and Marc Zuckerberg? And if this system weren't in place it would be that the current welfare recipients would be millionaires and Jobs and Zuckerberg would have nothing? Somehow that does not look like an adequate description of reality.

As for building a new system - so far such attempts ended up with North Korea, Soviet Union and other atrocities - but maybe you could do better. Good luck with it.
