We can't invoke Olson because there is still no Tullock Tax. I say this only half in jest. Transfers to concentrated interests only work when there's a nice expressive appeal to them. But, that means that the voters are getting what they (expressively) want. Of course, I have no clue what the expressive appeal of the medallion system might be though. I'm not a New Yorker I guess. I also still don't understand why voters find farmers more worthy of subsidy than Tullock. I'd far sooner see the farm subsidy money go to Tullock. I'm sure he'd do something with it that would be far more interesting than farming. :> Eric Crampton > > Fabio > > > >
