Anyone who compares feeding the starving with distributing points in college is an idiot, anyone who compares progressive taxes with a fully equal distribution of wealth is an even bigger idiot, and anyone who even thinks about seriously telling a story in which the main point implies that wealth is always earned is almost certainly mentally handicapped.

True, those things are not full scale wealthy redistribution, but they are tools of wealth redistribution and there are plenty in the democratic leadership that want to expand those tools.
