The most efficient means of the wealth redistribution is the direct one - require businesses to pay a living wage. Cut out the middleman.
Its not more efficient because it ignores the people who can't find jobs or otherwise earn a living. You going to let those people starve? Of course not. Now you have to have 2 means of wealth redistribution.
It is more efficient when you have one means of redistribution...and you only need one means. Living wage requirements are simply unnecessary.
