First of all, Buffett has for many years argued for higher taxes, including the death tax. Second, Powell did not indicate in his endorsement that he was for redistribution of wealth. One can only infer that based on his support of a candidate quoted as saying he "wants to spread the wealth around". A primary tenet of socialism is the redistribution of wealth and collective ownership of the means to generate......from those according to their ability to those according to their need.

What you don't understand is that you can actually raise tax revenues without resorting to class envy or sticking it to the wealthy.
