Well you need to be against it more then.
What a lot of people don't seem to grasp in spite of the data being obvious, is that the wealth has already been re-distributed upwards and has been for the last 20 years or so. E.g. Clinton's 2.4 trillion $ surplus, given to the 1% as a tax giveaway.
Exactly. Wealth redistribution from the poor to the wealthy is seen as healthy capitalism. Wealth redistribution from the wealthy to the poor is seen as socialism.
And the public is so brainwashed they'll argue in favor of the former, and vilify the latter.
