What is redistributive policy?

Answer 1

Redistribution policy shifts resources visibly from one group to another and engages a broad spectrum of political actors. Of all public issues, redistribution is the most visible because it involves the most conspicuous allocations of values and resources.
Examples of redistribution problems: affirmative action, civil rights, abortion, tax reform

Answer 2

This is a tool used in all forms of Government. It can be an effective tool to provide for the common wealth, but should be used conservatively. It is an economic policy.

A) Taking from Peter to pay Paul
B) Giving to charitable organizations
C) Taxation and Spending.

Examples:
1a) Ronald Regan's trickle down theory.
2a) Borrowing from Social Security to pay other debts and then never repaying it.
3a) Voluntary donations
4a) All City, State, Local and Federal tax and fees

Keep in mind there is always a cause. There will always be someone in need. Who we take from and how much is what should be looked at carefully. The affects can be devastating. Do we truly need to finance through mandatory taxation or are there other methods of funding the project?

Food for thought:
Are we taking essentials to pay for nonessentials?

In Hungary, when the country became Socialist; the government took ownership of all the large private houses and converted them into apartments. Many things changed in the redistribution policy.

In England, when a Tyrant King was on the throne; taxes were collected from the poor to build his wealth. If the poor could not pay, their homes were burned and some sentenced to prison or death.

Answer 3

Redistribution -- taking something from one place or person, and putting somewhere else.

As a policy, it says that a central authority (like a govt) should be able to take from one group and give to another, for purposes of either evening out who has what, or because the change is for the best interests of the entire group/community/state/nation.

Answer 4

All forms of taxing and spending is a redistributive policy. You take from one group and you give to another.

It's not necessarily a bad thing. For example, taking from the rich who can afford it and giving it to the less fortunate in the form of public schools and state universities leads to a more educated population, more economic growth, and less crime.

Answer 5

It's like communism. Theoretically appealing, but the reality bites. The redistribution of funds is usually weighted in favor of those who are able to gain favor. For example profit-sharing in a privately held company........ Or the allocation of funding to poor and/or wealthy school districts. And, mustn't omit this little item, the acquisition of funds for pork-barrel projects for one's constituents. Redistributive policy is as good as the effective oversight that should accompany it..............
