The system that enables the most people to earn the most success is free enterprise, by matching up people's skills, interests, and abilities. In contrast, redistribution simply spreads money around. Even worse, it attenuates the ability to earn success by perverting economic incentives.

  • -- Arthur C. Brooks 布洛克斯

通过匹配人们的技能、兴趣和能力,使大多数人获得最大成功的系统是自由企业。相比之下,再分配只是简单地把钱分散开来。更糟糕的是,它削弱了通过扭曲经济激励机制获得成功的能力。
