Problem: A recent opinion poll shows the majority of respondents favor a flat tax of 20 percent on all income, subject to a $35,000 exemption. (The first $35,000 of income would be untaxed.) An independent politician adopts this flat-tax proposal. His opponent is a Democrat who favors increasing the top marginal tax rate to 42 percent. Based on the median voter model, which candidate is likely to win the election.
