I disagree. Power has always been in the hands of the wealthy. It's the golden rule... those with the gold make the rules. But for years they've been perfecting gaining more and more of the wealth, much like mobbed up casino bosses upping the skim. And their wealth almost always comes at the cost of the middle class and poor. Sure there's guy/gals out there that hit one out of the park and made it big on a good idea but they're much like those scamming welfare. They make up a very small percent of the overall population. Just look at the data over the last 30-40 years- the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. That is redistribution of wealth and it's completely supported by the right.
