Remember that lowering some taxes can be a way to reduce income inequality

The debate on reducing income inequality often leads to the conclusion that certain taxes should be increased: taxation of wealth, capital income, the highest incomes. But it should not be forgotten that lowering some taxes can also reduce income inequality. A comparison of OECD countries shows: That a high weight of corporate social contributions and production taxes is associated with a low employment rate; And that a low employment rate is associated with high income inequality (before redistribution).
