Abstract

An original survey method to find the shape of favored redistributions is presented, in turn used to assess the political acceptability of the optimal tax theory. A first survey elicited median preferred parameters of a redistribution (50% of winners, 10% of losers and a monthly demogrant of 800 ?). In a second survey, a majority approved redistributions derived from the parameters? interpolation. It is shown that the optimal taxation derived from a utilitarian criterion fails to obtain a significant majority support, despite good evaluations, because it entails too many losers. Finally, this study provides evidence that the French support a more direct democratic procedure to define the income tax rates. Link to English version (with colored figures): 10.391/reco.731.XXXX
