WHY IS THE STATE'S REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH SO REVERED BY PUBLIC OPINION? A DISCUSSION ALONG LIBERTARIAN LINES

Abstract

The research deals with the redistribution of wealth carried by the State, what the activity implies, how it affects collectivity and the individual, and how it acts on the social imaginary. The language of the State is investigated in the theme, which associates virtue with practice, and the self-interest of social groups in search of privileges through the system of representative democracy. The method is the hypothetical-deductive with bibliographic research, data collection and analysis. The initial hypothesis to be defended points the redistribution of State is acclaimed by public opinion due to the rhetoric of virtue used by the State and the self-interest of the citizen. It concludes by attributing to the State the role of corrupting society through a favorable language and dividing it by creating competition with incentives and privileges at each other’s expense.
