Is Debt Monetization Equivalent to transferring money from rich to poor?
In the US, broad debt monetization would produce the following losers:  owners of cash, bonds or equivalent fixed income securities- notably, China, Japan, and the other foreign US creditors, and entitlement holders such as pensioners.  The winners would be:  anyone who owns a real asset on a leveraged basis, such as property owners who have a mortgage, corporations who have borrowed a lot versus their cash flows.  This isn't really rich->poor, it's lender-> borrower.   This seems like an attractive policy for the US, although there's a very strong argument that the US dollar will permanently lose its reputation as a store of value if it were ever implemented.
