Webb is pushing a theme of economic equality. He wants the government to get involved more in ensuring a more equitable distribution of wealth. This translates into more taxes on the "rich" and targetted tax cuts for the middle class. It is typical Dem phliosophy, i.e., class warfare and using government to shape not only equal opportunity, but ensure equal outcomes. In other words, they want more socialism.
All I can say is every time the Democrats target taxes against the rich and claim they are lowering taxes on the middle class, I always end up paying more. Democrats promise something they cannot deliver: equality of outcome.
BINGO .. which is why the Dem were hiding from being called that
