Sounds more like he's opposed to all tax revenue going into a single holding fund and then being distributed from there.
Perhaps he's suggesting that each bill/department/law/whatever be funded seperatly with it's own tax directly connected to it - as in, say we want to increase funding for weight loss efforts by the department of health or whatnot.
Impose a 2% tax on some specific food types and put the money into a fund which can only go towards that thing.
As an example, you understand.
I think it works that way in many local/state governments? Or some of em at least.

I think it could be argued that the real wealth redistribution has been the slow climb of inflation along with 30+ years of wealth inequality that has taken place in this country not to mention no tax relief for working-class Americans. But let's save that for another thread.

Well, if he stated it as an opinion, that's not really much of an issue, is it?
If he's trying to say "you shouldn't have done that" in the sense of "I'm telling you what to do", well he can't, so it's kinda moot.
What does it matter?
Maybe I'm missing what about it bugs you?

Yeah, I didn't take it that way based upon his comment that liberals have no problem in taking people's money and giving it to others as a form of redistribution of wealth. Perhaps you missed where he said that. I don't like my tax dollars being taken and given to Israel, or funding the militarization of our police departments, or endless wars, but I guess it is what it is!!
