The entire progressive tax system is one that advocates a more even distribution of wealth. The existence of welfare is as well, among many other aspects of our civilization. To take the leap that any advocacy for a more even distribution of wealth equates to Marxism is laughable.
you are talking to people who would eliminate virtually all taxes and all safety nets.

poor kid sick? screw him. If he wants to live, a rich person needs to make a donation in his name.
