That was not the claim I made.
I said they were all examples of redistribution of wealth.
They are and insulting me will not change these facts as some have done.
So your definition of redistribution is that money is taken from a certain group and used to fund benefits / programs / services that are available to everyone, correct?

You are capitalizing on semantics.
An excellent debate tactic, so yes, you are correct.
But it is not redistribution of wealth in the context we are discussing. I assume you are aware of this?
