Regional Balance
Some governments use equalization pools to achieve social balance, so that richer regions with fewer needs for state aid pay taxes into an equalization pool from which poorer regions needing financial assistance to provide the same level of services as the richer regions can draw on.

Famous quotes containing the word balance:
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
