Confirmed: Obama supports redistribution of wealth

I saw this Fox News Channel story early this morning and I've been looking for a video clip ever since. Thanks to Liberty Peak Lodge I found it.

While mixing with voters in Holland, Ohio, a plumber asked Obama a pointed question, as Fox News reports:

"Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed "more and more for fulfilling the American dream."

"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too," Obama responded. "My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

"Spread the wealth around"...there it is...Obama admitted it. He favors redistribution of wealth.

More:

"If Barack Obama's goal as president is to 'spread the wealth around,' perhaps his unconditional meetings with Hugo Chavez, Raul Castro, and Kim Jong-Il aren't so crazy -- if nothing else they can advise an Obama administration on economic policy," McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb said in a written statement to FOXNews.com. "In contrast, John McCain's goal as president will be to let the American people prosper unburdened by government and ever higher taxes."

Here's the video:
