I have been reading about inequity aversion.

It seems that it is almost instinctual among primates.

Economists and propagandists and advertisers are studying and arguing about the data big time.

Now if this study states that conservative are less likely to respond to it, would that mean that they are willing to work for less money?

Now I have no right to speak for anyone here, but I do believe that I have heard things like all folks should "pay the same rate in taxes" no mater what their income.

I will refrain from putting forth my argument against such at this time.

But would this not be characterized as inequity aversion.

I thought this was an interesting article on the subject:
