I actually don’t think there’s a good way for a voting system to distinguish between transfers and simple inequality, so I think voting systems designed with this concern in mind will actually favor wealth (/utility) transfers that reduce inequality, rather than discouraging all transfers.
Either way, though, there’s inherently some political content in there, which is unfortunate in some sense.
Yes.
