Very well, let us accept that definition of THE wealth.  When we elect a
president, we have her take the oath of office, in which she vows to uphold
the constitution.  The constitution was carefully designed by a bunch of
guys who just finished fighting a tyrannical government.  It specifically
limits what the government can do to us.  Although we grudging accept
taxation as a necessary evil, I see nothing in the constitution that allows
the president to have any say in redistributing THE wealth, as defined
above.
