Inheritance taxation is unpopular, even amongst people who are unlikely to ever have to pay it. Why?

Hardop gelachen, dank.
π’ New publication out: Does low political trust uniformly keep citizens away from the ballot box? Not quite.
Among citizens who do not see voting as a civic duty, lower β rather than higher β political trust is associated with stronger turnout intentions.
Wordt toch tijd voor Zotero vrees ik...
