For rich countries, income redistribution is much better handled through taxes and benefits system, rather than by government edicts to strengthen unions. The rich today pay so little in taxes in many countries, that it would be a big improvement simply to move to a flat tax, with a very high exemption level so that lower-income families pay nothing.
对于富国而言，通过税收和福利制度可以更好地处理收入重新分配，而非通过政府法令来加强工会组织。如今，许多国家的富人纳税很少，倒不如干脆转向免税额度很高的单一税，这样低收入家庭就不必纳税。
