but simply taking money from the successful and hard-working and distributing it to those whom the government decides ‘deserve’ it.

We have to accept that those with wealth are successful and hard working. Paris Hilton, George Bush and the Walton children leap immediately to mind I guess. And obviously the Big Swingin' Dicks on Wall Street who produced nothing but huge bets and possibly the second Great Depression should be entitled to keep their billions... They connived 'em fair and square.

It occurs to me that "redistribution of wealth" refers to any pattern that interrupts the flow of wealth from the many to the few. Perhaps everyone hears the Palin/McCain message and they're just ready for some change. They can call it anything they want.

Of course "redistributive change" could also mean a leveling of the playing field so that if my kids worked hard they might get to live like the Bush kids, and if the Bush kids worked like their dad, they wouldn't.
