Wealth Redistribution = Opportunity Redistribution

One of the phrases that people like Robert Novak like to use (when he's not busy passing on illicitly obtained information or outing CIA agents) is Wealth Redistribution. He uses it today when talking about the current presidential campaign. "The theme is redistribution of wealth in America, and multi-millionaire trial lawyer Edwards propounds it most effectively with his concept of "two Americas."

But what Democrats actually want isn't wealth redistribution but opportunity redistribution. All Americans should have access to good education. All Americans should have equal access to employment, based on their skills. Certainly all Americans should have access to the political process, instead of it being a millionaires game.

Something to keep in mind.
