这篇文章讨论了一个在文献中被广泛使用的关于福利国家支持率下降和“理性反对”出现的争论性人物。因此，有人声称，中上层阶级的高福利负担使他们不愿意遵守集体主义的福利安排，特别是再分配政策。在介绍了英国和德国的再分配福利安排之后，本文重点讨论了不同身份群体对再分配的态度。通过使用调查数据（ISSP 1990年和1996年），可以看出，税收负担与再分配政策目标之间的关系并不像一般假设的那样简单。研究结果表明，高税收负担的看法和支持再分配组之间的具体关系：这两个问题的相对独立的中产阶级，低收入群体和高收入群体的负相关。中产阶级的态度立场往往在理论贡献中发挥关键作用，但他们似乎不符合税收怨恨和不赞成收入再分配的共同关系模式。
The article deals with one of the argumentative figures that has been widely used within the literature about declining support for the welfare state and the emergence of a ‘rational opposition’. Thereby, it has been claimed that the high welfare burden on the middle and the upper classes makes them unwilling to comply with collectivist welfare arrangements, especially the policy of redistribution. After some introductory remarks about the redistributive welfare arrangements in Britain and Germany, the article focuses on attitudes towards redistribution by different status groups. By using survey data (ISSP 1990 and 1996) it will be shown that the relation between the tax burden and the policy objective of redistribution is not as straightforward as it is generally assumed. The findings suggest group specific relations between the perception of high tax burdens and support for redistribution: relative independence of both issues for the middle classes, a positive relation for the lower income groups and a negative one for high-income groups. The middle classes, whose attitudinal stances have often played a crucial role in the theoretical contributions, seem not to conform to the pattern of a conjunct relation of tax resentment and the disapproval of income redistribution.
