The thing it seems a lot of people don't understand is that taxes in general are a redistribution of wealth. It doesn't matter who is in office. If there is an income tax, it is a redistribution of wealth.
Here is how it works.
The top 5% of earners in this country pay 75% of the taxes. That means for every project paid for by tax dollars 75 cents of each of those dollars comes from the top 5%. So when the roads get paved/fixed/improved 75% of the cost is covered by the rich. When a person sends their kid to public school 75% of the cost of their education is covered by the rich. The police, fire and rescue services get 75% of their money from the rich. The rich pay in these taxes and the taxes are then used to provide goods and services to everyone and many of those goods and services are things that the average family wouldn't be able to afford on their own. That is a redistribution of wealth, it is just coming in the form of goods and services not cash.
