If you buy into the BS of wealth redistrabution, you are a socialist.
If you think it should be done b/c it's fair, you are a child that has not learned that life is not fair.
So what do you call wealth redistribution to the top?
There's no such thing, beyond the bail outs.
Unless this is a hate rant about rich people making money.
fyi; rich people own the company that built your comuper, bring energy to your home, built whatever you ride, made the cloths on your back, built hospitals, rail roads, medicine, medical insurance, on and on.
but lets get those evil people.
Sorry to be the bearer of reality again but all of those "things" were actually BUILT by the working Americans who got their hands dirty, not the fat cats who sit in their ivory towers. (At least they USED to be the builders, but not anymore.) And for the rich, most of their income does not come from "working." In 2008, only 19% of the income reported by the 13,480 individuals or families making over $10 million came from wages and salaries.
You can find some excellent charts telling the story of wealth redistribution to the top here:
