He supports " redistribution of wealth as a form of social justice"( those are his own words)
this is socialism
it is a far cry from a progressive tax , which we have had.
He supports the same tax structure as Bill Clinton's, under whose presidency the middle class lead better lives!
He is repealing the tax breaks for the wealthiest that Bush thought would be such a great idea because their extra money would rain down upon us. It hasn't rained for 8 long years!!
All taxation could be considered a redistribution of wealth and it is what has been keeping this country running and afloat for a century.
Stop letting the fear factor crowd continue to control your brain.
His comment was taken out of context. He was referring to taxing higher income Americans. Period. He was not talking about the government having central control of all facets of economic production.
Taxation IS a form of wealth redistribution. It takes money (taxes) from people and REDISTRIBUTES it (roads, military expenditures), etc.
he was talking about removing wealth directly from one person and redistributing it directly to other he deemed deserved it more for the reason of " social justice" this was NOT out of context and is a basic tenet of socialism as defined by Karl Marx

I asked him the other day, how restoring the tax structure to where it was pre-Bush = socialism.

Nope. You again are taking things out of context. And you continue to show you know anything about Marxism and I am wasting my mind trying to educate a minute cranium.

This is a lie.
You're taking what he said about taxes out of context to try to prove something.

Unsurprisingly, he had no answer.
because that is not what Obama is doing and he has said so himself .
