High individual income taxes

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option D) All of the Above

Explanation:

A Welfare State is a form of government in which the government plays a major part in the social and economic welfare of its citizens.

A welfare State tries to protect and promote the welfare of its citizens and at times even provides opportunities and equal distribution of wealth across the population.

The Welfare State, more specifically tries to protect its citizens who are too poor, unemployed, suffering from health conditions etc.

They do all this by making sure that people and corporations pay a higher share of tax. The high tax collections are then used to ensure that the money is used to provide Universal Health Care free of charge (as in most European countries) and in some countries even free power and water (as in many Central Asian countries)
