No seguimento de The Robin Hood myth, Giving Back With a Spoon, Taking With a Shovel por Kevin Carson:One of the central functions of the state, as executive committee of the ruling class, is to organize members of the ruling class into an undefectable cartel. In so doing, it overcomes prisoner’s dilemma problems and enables the ruling class to act collectively in ways that serve their long-term common interests, even when it seems to fall afoul of the short-term wealth maximization interests of individual members of the ruling class.That’s exactly what government does when it gives back to the poor just enough of the income whose upward transfer it has already enabled, in order to prevent the system from becoming completely destabilized.
