Abstract

We analyse a simple economy with a consumption good, an intermediate good and a public good, where there are capitalists, shop-keepers and worker. It follow that the capitalists and the shop-keepers would always vote for a lower tax rate than the workers although preferences are identical. No group would support a larger public sector than in the first-best solution under free entry and exit among the shop-keepers. A low tax rate would increase the number of supporters of low taxes and vice versa.
