Compound Error

And every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark
--Duran Duran

Many believe that the solution to the unnatural skew in distribution of wealth is to tax the wealthy. To forcefully take from some and redistribute to others.

These people are ignorant of the aggressive forces already in the system that are driving the unnatural skew. Monetary policies that enable the carry trade and fiscal policies that line corporate coffers exemplify the aggression at work.

Adding more aggression to the system compounds the error.

The best way to solve a problem is to remove the root cause. Instead of adding more force to the system, the proper action is to remove extant force from the system.
