Filling Gaps in the White House Website, Part 59

In a Super Bowl interview with the president, Bill O'Reilly asked about redistribution:
O'REILLY: Do you deny the assessment? Do you deny that you are a man who wants to redistribute wealth.

OBAMA: Absolutely.

O'REILLY: You deny that?

OBAMA: Absolutely. I didn't raise taxes once, I lowered taxes over the last two years.
