In every instance I've seen, redistribution does limit mobility - as well as introduces a middleman (the redistributors that steal/war/lie/oppress), corruption, politics, and extreme inefficiencies. You keep harping on the US, but it is one of - if not the most - upwardly mobile societies in history. One of my favorite anecdotes is how the 'unclassy american tourist' is a product of us being the first society to afford sending our middle/lower-class abroad for fun. And I'm proud of that.
> In every instance I've seen, redistribution does limit mobility
Please enumerate these instances and support the claim that in each of them mobility is reduced due to redistribution.
Without that, this sounds like subjective impression shaped by ideological preference being presented as if it were evidence for the ideological preference that produced it.
I have certainly missed how for example Scandinavian countries fits with this:

Care to explain? Or are you just being childishly contrarian which your last sentence seem to suggest?
