Wealth is an abundance of valuable material possessions or resources. The word is derived from the old English wela, which is from an Indo-European word stem. An individual, community, region or country that has an abundance of such possessions or resources is called wealthy.

The concept of wealth is of great importance in economics, especially development economics, yet the definition of wealth is not straightforward and there is no universally agreed-upon definition. Different definitions and concepts of wealth have been put forth by different authors and in different contexts. The choice of a definition of wealth can be normative and have ethical implications, since wealth maximization is often seen as a goal or put forth as a normative principle of its own.

Is Obama the first one to propose increased taxes in order to redistribute wealth?
Q. He says he will "spread the wealth around" by increasing taxes on the rich. His tax increase is not tied to any proposed expenditure or program other than spreading the wealth around. Is he the first American politician to promise increased taxes in order to redistribute wealth? What do you think of it?

A. Herbert Hoover used a very strikingly similar "Chicken In Every Pot ( a Car in Every Garage)" campaign promise. That's all it was---because Congress saw the utter failure in it ( and the rich of the time, as today, wasn't about to even allow it to happen ). I wouldn't be at all surprised if Obama got his "Share The Wealth" idea from Hoover's vision. And IF "Share The Wealth" is to be even tried---will fail flat. America's rich will NOT go for it---and if they were made to...they'd simply "catch-back" on us middle class folks by implacing quite higher consumer and utility prices ( as if we don't pay outrageous fees as it stands today ). And after that "Share The Wealth" check passes through the IRS TAX filter, the "Share The Wealth"… [cont.]
