That's assuming time has constant value.
For example, I consider time I spend reading on the toilet basically worthless. So when the voter guide comes in the mail, with the candidates' statements, text of propositions and submitted arguments for or against, it is less than $0.25 to multitask there.
Expected gain, though, is higher than just the tax cuts and beer-having. It can be fun to study that stuff. And, looking at the big picture, the collapse of our democracy by having an uninformed electorate would mean everyone loses everything that is based on the USD.
