Redistribution scares people (mainly rich people).
The issue with any notion of idea of redistribution is that it is a reset in wealth. People who have worked hard to make themselves wealthy are penalized for working that hard. In addition, distribution assumes that everyone will work equally hard and take full advantage of their new found opportunity which is rarely the case.
What motivation is there to achieve if what ever you worked on gets taken away when you are at a certain point?
This is rather different from corrective taxation based on income.
