Nonsense.Zero-sum stimulates nothing.
All that does is create a false notion of velocity.
There's no such thing as "false velocity." It either is or it isn't.
Put aside the ideology. Massive government involvement pulled us out of the Depression. That doesn't mean it would now, but it did then.
All it did is take funds away from one sector, line the pockets of those doing the expropriation and redistribution, and spread around the remainder to the peasants.
The day that gubmint creates anything at all of added value, then it can lay claim to creating jobs...Until then, all thy can do is confiscate and re(mis)allocate.
