For centuries, the traditional economic systems have emphasized income redistribution programs that support poorer members of the society.Income redistribution is accomplished in a variety of ways in the modern versions of the traditional economies as well as most capitalist and socialist economies.Does it matter if the support provided for poorer members of society is provided as cash or through free or reduced-cost services (e.g., subsidized food or energy products, free health care or education, rent subsidies, or vouchers for public transit)?If you qualified for this assistance, would you prefer to receive cash or reduced-cost services?If you were one of the tax payers who supported these redistribution programs, which form of support would you prefer?Please explain your responses.
