Yeah, but involuntary (coercive) redistribution is certainly not the right answer. It's in beta too. As more folks rise up, the current advantages of the top 1% will be diminished. And, in this case, other than the fact that the 1% can "vote harder", the group has much to say about what will rise to the top. Only those who are creating good content should be rewarded.
The challenge right now is that many who are creating great content aren't getting recognition while some less helpful posts are getting a lot of popularity and celebrity votes. That's life. Hopefully the community will mature beyond this flocking (mob) mentality, but it is something we tend to gravitate to.
