Redistribution Theory Meets Redistribution Practice

Occupy Wall Street protesters are apparently upset that some are stealing their money and stuff, including expensive MacBook computers. Their ire is ironic. After all, what is redistribution, something they apparently demand for their benefit, if not taking from those that have and giving to those that don't? It's great in theory, as long as you are the one getting.  But as soon as you are the one losing, it is just stealing.

It seems a few of their own necks have been placed in the guillotine already.
