To discover whether democratically leaning groups will still stand for and support egalitarian values even when they are the ones targeted by taxes, 100 undergraduate students of Worcester Polytechnic Institute completed a survey asking whether they would support or oppose several different forms of taxation being applied to their grade point averages. By using a form of currency students are more intimately invested in, the participants would risk the same kinds of personal damages that conservatives theorize turn liberals to conservative politics.
