Yes, support and maintain it.
Regarding 'redistribution of wealth/income', that's a loaded phrase in that it generally connotes socialism or communism in the minds of many.
However, if one accepts that our capitalist system is in fact out of balance to the extent that it is effectively broken for the middle and lower classes due to abuses by the upper class, then it seems self evident that a redistribution of income is required to bring it back into balance.
This is not to say that the upper class's wealth should be taken from them and given to others, it's simply to say rid the system of abuses so that it can function 'normally' as it once did and income redistribution will occur naturally as the system comes back into balance.
