I've heard many numbers suggesting that wealth is largely dependant on wealth of the parents from the left wing, and many numbers suggesting the opposite from the right wing. Needless to say, a random statistic without a source on a message board does not mean much to me.

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.

There's a slight difference between wealth redistribution and social security. Social security is aimed at making sure people don't go without the basics of life (i.e. making sure people don't starve in the streets), while wealth redistribution as a general concept is aimed at creating more equality in wealth.
