Question 18

Which demographic group is the least likely to support redistributive policy?

affluent persons

college students

o Hispanic women

low-income workers

The demographic group that is least likely to support a redistributive policy would be affluent persons.

Explanation:

A redistributive policy is meant to redistribute wealth throughout a population, so essentially it takes wealth from those who are wealthy and it redistributes it among those who earn less. There are some American governmental policies that do function on redistributive principles although they are only for very targeted distributions and populations. The examples are the Head Start program, Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and the Supplementary Nutritional Aid Program.
