Redistribution of taxes, from areas of high densities to lower density prefectures.
- robertlagrant 3y agoThanks - but isn't this more like "reallocation"? I thought redistribution was more about taking money from some people and giving it to (or spending it on) other people, of which taxation is one method.
- moate 3y agoYou take money that would have ostensibly gone to the citizens of Tokyo and instead provide it to the citizens of town of your choice. Reallocation and redistribution are synonymous here, one is just used in more headlines (probably because more people use "distribute" more regularly than "allocate"). Nothing different should be inferred by either word choice IMO.
- themaninthedark 3y agoI think that there is a bit of distinction. Reallocate says that you are changing where the money is going Redistribute says that you are collecting money then parceling it out.
