Redbaiting is the new retro-chic Republican trend

MCCAIN: So is one of the tenets of socialism redistribution of the wealth? Not just socialism — a lot of other liberal and left wing philosophies — redistribution of the wealth? I don't believe in it. I believe in wealth creation by Joe the Plumber.

So... is John McCain endorsing the Labor Theory of Value here? Because that's a lot closer to actual Marxism than redistributing "wealth." (You'd have to redistribute Means of Production to be socialist. Say, by nationalizing the banks.)

Or does he literally believe in a Joe The Plumber-based economy?
