I am talking about taxes paid from the upper income families and giving that money directly to lower income families in the form of a redefined tax cut. He refers to this as a tax cut, but it isn't a tax cut. They have paid no taxes.
By your definition, ALL tax cuts are a "redistribution of wealth". So I guess you're only for tax cuts when they favor the wealthy?
