[EL] Tax Credits/Deductions for Campaign Contributions

[Dan Meek]

Oregon has produced a table showing use of its political tax credit by 
income level.  See 
*oregon*.gov/DOR/STATS/*tax*-*expenditure*-*report*-2011-2013.shtml, 
page 197.

Yes, higher income persons use the tax credit more often.  But lower 
income persons get a larger percentage change in their taxes.

Thanks for several posts with valuable information on tax credits and 
deductions for campaign contributions.   The earlier studies showed use 
was very heavy among higher income taxpayers and much lower among lower 
income taxpayers.   These differences were much great than, for 
instance, differentials in voting turnout between various income 
groups.   Can anyone shed light on whether any of the plans mentioned in 
recent posts tend to diminish disparities in political activities 
between high and lower income strata?  Thanks again for helpful responses.
