Redistribution of wealth, what an ugly phrase. It has all the connotations of Socialism and Communism.

In fact, what we need is income fairness. The same fairness we had in 1970's, when America's Middle Class was thriving.

We must stop calling it "redistribution of wealth" and call it "income fairness", or even "income justice" instead.
