I guess my biggest problem with your point is the fact that you say:<p>&#62; The free market does not provide <i>forcible</i> wealth redistribution.<p>The fact that you draw this distinction seems to imply that you simultaneously concede that <i>some</i> redistribution of wealth is necessary, but also believe that this distribution can be possible without forcible intervention.<p>If this is not your position, I apologize. But if it is, I think it's naive at best. If the recent economic crisis has shown us anything, it is that, without force, not a penny will be pried from the hands of the financial institutions and corporations that control most of this country's wealth, let alone redistributed.
