Voting Schmoting
November 2, 2010
Gordon Tullock, who was one of my graduate school professors at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and later my colleague at George Mason University, explains why voting is for suckers. (One reason: It is more likely that you will die in a car crash on the way to the voting booth than it is that your vote will make any difference in any election).
Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo [send him mail] is a former professor of economics at Loyola University Maryland and a longtime member of the senior faculty of the Mises Institute. He is the author or co-author of eighteen books including The Real Lincoln; How Capitalism Saved America; Lincoln Unmasked; Hamilton's Curse; Organized Crime: The Unvarnished Truth About Government; The Problem with Socialism; and The Politically-Incorrect Guide to Economics.
