:There is strong evidence that increased redistribution of wealth results in better outcomes for health, happiness and crime - as for instance in the Scandinavian countries, which have highly progressive tax regimes. Professor Richard Layard has argued that "in societies where income differences between rich and poor are smaller, the statistics show not only that community life is stronger and people are much more likely to trust each other; but also there is less violence – including substantially lower homicide rates – health is better and life expectancy several years longer, prison populations are smaller; birth rates among teenagers are lower, levels of educational attainment among school children tend to be higher; and there is more social mobility. In all cases, where income differences are narrower, outcomes are better." [http://www.epolitix.com/EN/MPWebsites/Clare+Short/d3785575-2c3d-4112-8234-a56172981f30.htm]
Articles should not, generally, argue for or against something.
You can put Layard's opinion into the article if you label it as his POV. If you agree to this, I will unprotect the article. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:40, 4 January 2008 (EST)
