Sure it is. If he paid even $10 in taxes he would have gotten the check. In his case he is married and has 3 kids so the check was for around $2,400 of which around $1,800 came from the top 5% of earners. If you put a tiny amount into the pot and a rich person puts a huge amount into the pot then everyone takes an equal amount back out of the pot, that is redistributing the wealth.
