Is that right?

Yes, that's correct. I'm arguing that redistribution in any form of giving "stuff" for free makes it worse by providing strong incentives to maintain status quo.

Yes, that's correct.

On your account does redistribution in the form of, for example, using my "stuff" to educate others in how to make better decisions necessarily make it worse?
