This work approaches two topics related to income distribution. First, we measure the level of justice associated to income distribution in Latin American countries. The analysis is based on the calculation of the unfair inequality before and after taxing. The results showed that the taxing system in such countries does not have any impact on the level of distributive justice. In this context, we highlight Brazil and Colombia. Secondly, we look into the persistence of poverty in Brazilian states. The empirical analysis is carried out in order to avoid bias related to the presence of outliers and the fallacy of Galton. Results showed that, contrary to what is currently exposed, the persistence level of poverty in Brazil is high.
