Yes they can, but they shouldn't be forced by the government to.
Why don't we just take your theory on economics and apply it to other areas of life.
In high schools, lets take all of the students who get A's and knock them down to B's. We can then give all the C students B's. That way, they can get into the same colleges as the hard working, more intelligent A students. Hey, the A students can still get into college so what's the harm?
In the Olympics, lets take away some Gold Medals from the US team because they won too many. Give a few to Lithuania and Bolivia because they don't have any. It's ok though because even though the US athletes worked hard and trained for years for their medals, the team still has the most.
I know these examples are far fetched, but hopefully you can see where your logic is flawed.
People who work hard should not be forced to give up what they earned when they are already giving a lot more than their fair share.
