If people are making that, then they are paying no taxes so there is no tax money to redistribute.
Conversely, those of humble means are almost certainly getting Earned income Tax Credits, possibly fod stamps and other welfare which is paid for with tax money from those of us who DO pay taxes or, of course, China.
You're obviously missing the point!
There may not be tax money to redistribute from the poor to the wealthy, but the fact that the income of the lower 50% has fallen, while the income of the top 1% (and the number of new millionaires) has risen means that the wealthy have squeezed more wealth out of the bottom 50% through lay offs, and LACK of jobs creation by private "job creators," who prefer to keep their wealth rather than help the bottom 50%.
NO matter how you want to look at it, the policies of deregulation of industry and banks, and the Bush tax cuts have created a windfall for the wealthiest in the US, and have squeezed all life out of main street and the poor.
And now, when there is pratically nothing more to squeeze out of the poorest in the US, the GOP and tea party want to take away the means of bare survival: food stamps, medicare, medicais, and any assistance that the poor received!
To benefit WHO? or WHAT?
Do you want a specific exemple of this? Look at Koch Brother's wealth. . .which as grown at about the same rate as employment has fell!
Obviously, if you don't need to pay workers. . .you get more money in your pocket. . .And the laid off workers fall deeper into poverty!
Fairness? Constitutional "will?" Nope. . .stupidity from about 45% of the nation, and greed and hypocrisy from the top 1%.
