Ah, whose tinkering with the meaning of words here?

Er, Webster.

One entry found for redistributionist.
: one that believes in or advocates a welfare state

From your corner of the political world it may well mean that. In my corners it is used repeatedly to describe the Bush tax cuts.

I am aware of that usage. It's the same perspective that calls escalating progressivity "reform."

Instead of a workplace based tax it is a part of income taxes.

Sure. Now, how do you expect employee compensation to be rejiggered at such time as that change may be implemented?
