I think it might also depend on how you see it. Being a distributor myself, I see redistribution as an easy way to keep the underclasses happy. Do I wish there was no underclass at all? Absolutely. But in eveyr society there is one- and the most peaceful stable societies have smaller gaps between rich and poor. I, as a distributor, wish to live in a stable and peaceful society, ergo I choose to prefer distribution. I don't see the idea as class warfare- although the idea can certainly be sold that way.

Calling a change in the tax code "class warfare" is not in any way meaningful. It's simply a way of disparaging the idea of increasing taxes on the people who have most of the income. It short-circuits the discussion because it sounds like a Bad Thing, which means nobody has to give any real thought to the matter. It's propaganda without substance.
