Responses

free and reduced school lunches
negative income tax
food stamps

Answer 1

All of the options listed can potentially contribute to redistributing income from high-income earners to low-income earners, but the most direct policy specifically designed for income redistribution is the **negative income tax**. This policy provides financial support to low-income earners by guaranteeing a minimum income level, effectively redistributing resources from higher-income earners through taxation.

So, the best answer is:

**negative income tax**.
