The poor are poor because while they're paid peanuts, everybody else estimates the value they create through their work in very large numbers. It is absolutely a matter of work-value distribution. Calling that "wealth redistribution" is an artifact to prop the "tax is steal" propaganda.
Tax the companies "theoretical price tag" and see it adjusting to much more realistic numbers, that would be beneficial for everyone.
Lastly, we can keep saying all we want about one hundred years ago, but at the time, economic growth was 2 digits. Today it's one digit, and almost all of it value goes straight up to the ultra-rich. Growth is decreasing but ultra-rich worth net keeps increasing at faster rate. How can one not see this is bonkers?
