Equity of condition in tax law and governmental spending is the economic condition, often arbitrary, that political leaders believe a person should be in after governmental social engineering and redistribution of wealth.
The award of wealth in a socialist economy may be extensive, with a proscribed level of benefits for food, housing, health, education, recreation, welfare, etcetera—and have little or no relation to the citizen's productivity (e.g., before-tax income).
Equity of condition in a mixed economy, such as the United States, can be nebulous and ever-changing.
The cost of the benefits is merely shifted to a discriminated portion of the tax base.
