Oh. Right. I assumed a socialist setting. My country (France) has a welfare system (unemployment, retirement etc…), so part of its taxes are directly redistributed.
Note however that direct redistribution isn't the only way. For instance, the infrastructure (like roads and schools) benefits many citizens. You can reasonably equate such benefits with "a bit of wealth". So it is still a form of redistribution of wealth.
I don't think wealth redistribution can easily be separated from state.
