Abstract

Professor Richardson documents redistribution from Democratic states to Republican states and links this to the 1994 "Republican revolution" -- suggesting a deliberative effort by Republicans to redistribute income towards their constituents. Seth Giertz of the University of Nebraska argues that what Professor Richardson's analysis really shows is that "red" states -- but not necessarily Republicans within those states -- are (increasingly) the major beneficiaries of federal redistributive policies -- and that "blue" states are (increasingly) the benefactors.

评理查森:累进的联邦税收推动了从蓝州到红州的再分配

理查森教授记录了从民主党州到共和党州的再分配，并将其与1994年的“共和党革命”联系起来——这表明共和党人经过深思熟虑的努力，将收入再分配给他们的选民。内布拉斯加大学(University of Nebraska)的塞思·吉尔茨(Seth Giertz)认为，理查森教授的分析真正表明的是，“红色”州——但不一定是这些州的共和党人——(越来越)是联邦再分配政策的主要受益者，而“蓝色”州(越来越)是受益者。
