You are advocating getting the state out of the way of its citizens productivity by redressing the ways by which most people are taxed.
That's exactly the sort of thing i'm talking about.
If you want people in the developing world to improve their lot, get rid of authoritarian gov.s holding them back.
People wish to do things for other people, and wish to provide for themselves. It is institutions, and esp. states, which almost-everywhere and almost-everywhen have got in the way of that.
Fixing institutions is exactly the sort of thing which will help people who suffer needlessly.
But it won't change inequality: the distribution of productivity is necessarily unequal by the nature of productivity (those a little better off now will be able to multiply faster, exponentially).
