Answer to Question 1

The big tradeoff is the tradeoff between efficiency and fairness. The idea is that if the government redistributes income so that it is more equally shared, output decreases so that it is less than the efficient amount. Output shrinks because such redistribution blunts people's incentives to work. Hence redistributing income so that everyone has the same amount of income might end up insuring that everyone's incomes are smaller than if less redistribution is pursued.
