perfect example of how the left wants wealth redistributed, Quote:

Yesterday on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money". I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server had on an "Obama 08" Button, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference -- just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--I pointed out the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was very grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient "lacked" the money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application

13 = 1929?
But then the tax-cutting craze began with California's Proposition 13, that capped property taxes and carried through the Reagan administration, and was brought to a crescendo with the Bush tax cuts. These Republican tax cuts have redistributed wealth dramatically. Now the top 1% is back to grabbing its largest share of US income since 1929, one of several indicators that wealth is more concentrated than at any time since the Great Gatsby era. The top 1% earns more than the bottom 40% of workers, the top 5% earns more than the bottom 60%, and the top 20% out-earns the bottom 80%.

Wealth is even more skewed. The top 1% holds 34.7% of total US wealth and the next 9% has 35.4%, leaving just 29.9% of the pie for the bottom 90%.
