I didn’t think you changed your mind. You are fine with government taking private property and redistributing said property without just compensation as our constitution commands.

I never said I was okay with it without just compensation. Try paying attention to what I actually have written.

Well, that is the impression I got from your own words. So, tell me, in respect to the constitutional command requiring just compensation, how would you fulfil the requirement when you take the property a working person earns by the sweat of their labor, which is then redistributed to another individual for their personal economic needs?

You are compensated by:

• Being able to live and thrive in this wonderful country
• Getting the same help if you fall on hard times
• In regards to universal healthcare, a healthier populace that is less likely to spread disease and get you sick
• Less homeless people on the streets where you live
• Less guilt that you should be doing more to help those less fortunate than you

My question was in respect to the constitutional command requiring “just compensation”.
Not your personal whims and fancies alleging “just compensation”.

just compensation

n. 1) in general a fair and reasonable amount of money to be paid for work performed or to make one “whole” after loss due to damages. 2) the full value to be paid for property taken by the government for public purposes guaranteed by Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which states: “…nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.” If the amount offered by the governmental agency taking the property is not considered sufficient, the property owner may demand a trial to determine just compensation. (See: quantum meruit, make one whole, condemnation, eminent domain, inverse condemnation)

“The property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable. The patrimony of the poor man lies in the strength and dexterity of his own hands; and to hinder him from employing this strength and dexterity in what manner he thinks proper, without injury to his neighbor, is a plain violation of this most sacred property.” ___ Butchers’ Union Co. v. Crescent City Co., 111 U.S. 746 (1884)
