The biggest wealth transfers in America occur between people without a lot of wealth to people with a lot of wealth. This is in the form of Social Security and Medicare.
The EITC is a very efficient way to redistribute consumption, it encourages the poor to work more instead of staying on welfare, and used to be championed by conservative economists.
The rhetoric on the Right wants to keep middle class wealth redistribution, and eliminate an efficient consumption redistribution. This is, in a word, stupid.
