Is democracy regressive? A comment on political participation
It has been shown that the positive correlation between income and electoral turnout is consistent with an opportunity cost argument. The argument highlights the impact of uncertainty costs generated by a broadening of the powers of government. It has implications for equity inasmuch as such costs are borne differentially. It thereby calls into question public policy with respect to the tax treatment of political participation expenditures. Copyright Martinus Nijhoff Publishers 1986
