[jxifmtks] Income redistribution and social iniquity

How much of the inequalities of society can simply be corrected by the government doing income redistribution?  Rather than doing something more complicated, e.g., bussing (referring to Brown v. Board) or passing and enforcing laws against discrimination.  (Though the implementation of income redistribution will likely be complicated.)  Then, let market forces provide goods and services to the poor, instead of the government doing it.

Cynically, money equals power, but the status quo does not want to do power redistribution.
