Turns out the Obama Administration is redistributionist after all — just like every Administration since Reagan’s:
No group was immune to the downturn. In 2008, as the financial crisis raged, the stock market hit bottom and the Great Recession ate into the economy, the number of millionaires in the United States plunged.

And after that decline and rebound, the millionaire class held a larger percentage of the country’s wealth than it did in 2007.
