Cedar Brook Group's Azim Nakhooda Explains Why Wealth Redistribution is a Bad Idea
Azim Nakhooda, Cleveland financial advisor, explains wealth redistribution and its impact.
Cleveland, OH, November 05, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Azim Nakhooda, a founding partner and principal of Cedar Brook Group, one of the region’s largest independent wealth management firms, analyzed data regarding the concept of wealth redistribution and suggests it’s bad for Americans.
Many of the statistics surrounding the “wealthy” are skewed enormously by the upper 1/10th of the 1%. While these billionaires might draw envy, and even scorn from others for their largesse, the reality is that there is a fundamental profitability, tax, and lifestyle divide amongst even the top strata. Thus, redistribution tactics run the risk of harming more professionals, small business owners and other presumably unintended targets.
In his book, "The Upside of Inequality" Edward Conrad says that whether achieved through taxation, regulatory restrictions or social norms, redistribution has large detrimental effects on risk-taking, innovation, productivity and growth over the long run, especially in an economy where...talent increasingly drives growth.
“Redistribution’s fatal flaw is that it is a unilateral initiative, not a balanced solution. It doesn’t incent or reward, bolster or train, or forgive. In short - it doesn’t help those without wealth. It just takes from those who have been successful and evaporates that wealth into inefficiency of a deficit government and a murky global capital market,” explained Mr. Nakhooda. “Narrowing the gap in wealth by making the rich poorer, does not make the poor richer,” stated Mr. Nakhooda.
