With lowering taxes, the debt will not be just delayed upon our grandchildren, it will actually grow much larger, because it will be paid slower and more interest will accumulate. Or the whole financial system will just have to burst, create new money, start anew. So, the current way of distribution is just forever pumping everybody's money into the repayment of common debt, no increase of overall wealth but by new debt. What redistribution does he mean the other guy has in mind, then?

Take from the rich and distribute it to the poor. In this case (the income level at the beginning of the campaign was different), the wealthy include anyone making 250,000/yr or more.
