Farmer Conservatism and the Incidence of Taxes

J. Ronnie Davis and Charles W. Meyer

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1972, vol. 54, issue 3, 485-489

Abstract: State sales and income taxes and local property taxes generally absorb a higher percentage of the income of farmers than of nonfarmers, according to ah Iowa incidence study. Simple models of voting behavior show higher tax burdens may cause farmers to be more conservative toward public spending than other taxpayers, even though their demand for public services is identical.
