WHETHER OR NOT THE IDEA EVER HAD ANY VALIDITY, NO ONE COULD ARGUE PLAUSIBLY AFTER NOVEMBER 6 THAT LABOR IS THE LEADER OR VANGUARD OF THE PEOPLE. BUT THIS MUCH CAN BE SAID: AFL-CIO MEMBERS GAVE THE MONDALE-FERRARO TICKET A BIGGER SLICE OF THEIR VOTE THAN THE WHOLE ELECTORATE GAVE RONALD REAGAN IN HIS SWEEPING VICTORY. A NATIONAL POLL OF AFL-CIO MEMBERS SHOWED 61 PERCENT FOR MONDALE, 39 PERCENT FOR REAGAN. THIS MAY COME AS A SURPRISE TO MANY WHO HEARD ACCOUNTS AFTER THE ELECTION SUGGESTING THAT ORGANIZED LABOR HAD WON BARELY HALF THE VOTES OF ITS MEMBERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE THE TV NETWORKS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CBS, POLLED UNION HOUSEHOLDS BUT NOT UNION MEMBERS-AND EVEN IN THE LATTER CASE TEAMSTERS UNION MEMBERS AND OTHERS WHO HAD ENDORSED REAGAN WERE INCLUDED. WHEN THE CBS/NEW YORK TIMES POLL QUERIED UNION MEMBERS, THEY FOUND 57 PERCENT WERE FOR MONDALE, 41 PERCENT FOR REAGAN.

This paper develops a model where a benevolent constitutional planner has the ability to restrict the allocation space of citizens who are heterogeneous in productivity prior to the stochastic determination of a government responsible for structuring the tax system. It finds that limits on cross-sectional dispersion in hours worked can be used as a welfare-enhancing tool to discipline the behavior of elected officials who seek to maximize the objective of their respective constituencies by devising selfishly optimal tax regimes that favor idiosyncratic gains from redistribution over socially suboptimal distortions in the labor wedge. A model calibrated to key moments of the U.S. presidential elections and the Lorenz Curve is consistent with two empirical findings from cross-country data: a positive correlation between maximum workweek limits and skill dispersion, and a negative correlation between minimum wage laws and the proportionality of electoral voting systems.

In the bleak spring of 1916, a military note expostulated about the slowness with which the Government of India was finding coolies and porters for British forces in Mesopotamia. At first, labor could be obtained only from tribals of the Santhal Parganas and Chota Nagpur and by tapping Indian jails: "Could there possibly have been a greater opportunity for India with millions of men not usable as soldiers, to take a larger share in the war, or even a larger share in helping its own Indian Army? From all accounts India was burning to get such a chance, yet what happened? The honour of India was upheld first by aborigines and then by convicts."
