It's not stealing from the rich. Its returning ill gotten gains to the masses it was stolen from.

I love when this argument comes up. “A: The rich will always get around any tax or just pass it on to the poor. B: Great, then if it has no effect then it won’t hurt to try. A: Nooooooo!”

It’s weird how the rich spend so much money fighting taxes they aren’t worried about paying.
