Obamacare is collapsing under it's own weight & forky wants to replace with a form of the bankrupt Medicare system.
QuoteActually, just the opposite. I think the wealth redistribution program that's been going on for the last 35 years or so is bad for America and Americans.

QuoteIn Republican low-taxes-for-the-wealthy states like Texas, the middle class can pay four times the TOTAL state and local tax RATE compared with the top 1%. That's income redistribution. And class warfare.

QuoteThe beauty of living in a free republic is that we can vote with out feet. If you feel the tax laws of Texas are unfair then don't live in Texas. If you don't like the fact that the minimum wage isn't indexed then get your liberal state to make a $15.00 minimum wage and index it to inflation. Why haven't the Democrat states done that? If you're unhappy about the high cost of education then make your state legislature take more from the rich and give it to your state colleges. If you think wages and cap gains should be taxed at different rates then make your state level the playing field. If you aren't happy with the inheritance tax then your state can fix that with their own inheritance tax. If you want a socialist utopia, you can have it...in your state. Why aren't the Various Democrat State Legislatures hopping to action to implement your agenda? Once we all see how well it works in your state, maybe the rest of us will demand such a redistribution on our states too. Then if it doesn't work, it's only a fail for your state. That's the beauty of living in a free republic.

And when our laws allow businessmen like Donald Trump to enrich themselves while refusing to pay middle class workers and contractors, that is income redistribution.
And open trade pacts with countries like China redistribute income upward. Just ask Donald Trump.
And failing to index the minimum wage and the income threshold. And tripling the real dollar cost of tuition at public universities, making it impossible for a Millennials to finance their education by working their way through school. (Unlike the incredibly spoiled Baby Boomers.) And public domain condemnation for the benefit of corporate profits. And taxing earned income at a higher rate than investment income. And reducing the capital gains tax rate to zero on inherited assets. And the Fed being more concerned with inflation than with wage stagnation. And having laws that allow businessmen like Mitt Romney and Donald Trump to enrich themselves while declaring multiple bankruptcies.
You may have reasons to support some or all of the above, but you can't deny that they all redistribute income upward. Just look at 1980 to present. The game is rigged.
