As income transfer programs accompanying the War on Poverty increased beginning in the latter half of the 1960s, what happened to poverty in the United States? Check all that apply. After the start of the War on Poverty, the downward trend in the poverty rate halted. In 2018, the adjusted poverty rate was only 4 percentage points lower than the official rate in 1970. The poverty rate declined substantially in the period after the War on Poverty, but not in the period before the start of the War on Poverty. The adjusted poverty rate has declined rapidly and is now less than half of the official poverty rate.

If an economy has perfect equality (everyone earns the same income), the Lorenz curve for that economy will be Question 21 options: A horizontal line. A vertical line. A diagonal line. A curved line.
Consider a society consisting of two people. Jacques earns an income of $100,000 per year and Kyoko earns an income of $30,000 per year. The government is considering a redistribution plan that would impose a 25% tax on Jacques's income and give the revenue to Kyoko. Without any incentive distortion, Jacques would retain $75,000 and Kyoko would end up with $55,000. However, let us assume that since Jacques will not receive all the income he earns, he decides to work less and earn an income of only $90,000, of which 25%×$90,000=$22,50025%×$90,000=$22,500 will be owed in taxes. With the redistribution plan, Jacques will take home an income of . The $22,500 that Jacques pays in taxes will be transferred by the government to Kyoko. Let us assume that since Kyoko now receives payment from the government, she will not work as many hours and will earn an income from work of only $29,000 instead of her initial $30,000. With the redistribution plan, Kyoko's total income…
