You know what would be a good way to decrease the Gini-coefficent that sounds kinda crazy.
Allow the poor the ability to invest money with the government, who would then actually invest that money in stocks and bonds.
Unlike the US,Norway actually invests their versions of social security and medicaid rather then spending it and leaving an IOU in the form of bounds.
They make huge 10-20% gains, during the economic crisis they did actually. Why? Because a lot of poor people can invest like 1 rich person.
Which is really the real issue.
The rich get richer because they can invest more, and they can ride investments out and take risks.
