What way should one think of it, if you concede the fact that the "new" money printed doesn't get equally distributed to all the individuals based on their proportion of ownership of the previous total of money supply?

I.e. if there is 1000 floating around, and 2 individuals in the population. Then if the government prints an extra 100, it needs to give 50 to each individual (not 100 to the one, but not the other). Probably not logistically feasible with a large population, but that way you can at least say it's not "theft".
