I find it hard to see how redistribution of the wealth can, for want of a better word, "cure" social exclusion. Spending tax money on decent measures is one thing, but simply giving over money to the less well-off is hardly a solution. Measures such as the Minimum Wage, and Job Seeker's Allowance I feel work better to do this (perhaps adding a redundancy benefit to those who have been laid off in cost cutting exercises and such by companies for a short while after and have no other major income), and perhaps giving the EMA to the parents instead of the child would also work better. Nothing much more severe than what is already in place
