  2. Yes, there is a distinction in how various economic classes take political action. Middle and upper class individuals have a greater political participation and a greater political influence than those of the lower class. The upper class also tends to vote Republican while the lower class tends to vote Democratic.

  3. I agree with Danielle that there is an important distinction in how the “economic classes” take political action. The lower class tends to vote less than the middle or upper class. They take less political action and one reason why I think they do is because of education. People from the lower class tend to have lower education and, therefore; they don’t vote as often as people in the middle or upper class. People in the middle or upper class tend to be more educated so, they take more political action. They tend to vote more than those of the lower class. Also, lower and upper class tend to vote for opposite parties, when they do vote. Upper class votes for Republicans more often and the lower class votes more Democratic.
