Many people complain that not enough citizens of the country vote. Voting, they point out, is a simple act and it gives people the opportunity to directly affect the government so there is no reason for people not to vote. But economists point out that voting does have costs: time spent at the polls and money spent on transportation. The economic benefits achieved by voting are so negligible that the cost is never worth it.
If the economists’ statements are true, than it must also be true thatA. Less than half of the country’s citizens vote in any given election.
B. Citizens are more likely to vote when the polling station is on their way to work or school.
C. Voting does not allow citizens to directly affect the government.
D. Citizens do not vote because they do not feel that their efforts will be rewarded.
E. If a citizen does vote, it must be because of some non-economic benefit.
