Personally, I think spreading the wealth is a great idea, but done without compromising freedom or privacy. Which is why I have no political party; both major parties have left me independent.
The main reasons why government is a poor intermediary between the wealthy and the poor is that
1) it disintermediates any direct connection between individuals (which increases deadweight loss and decreases accountability), and
2) it maximizes rent-seeking and free-riding
