Answer:True

Explanation:

Schattschneider argued the political system is structured in favor of "the most educated and highest-income members of society", and showed that "the difference between those who participate in interest group activity and those who stand at the sidelines is much greater that between voters and nonvoters.

Those who do not participate in political activities are the ones who do not have adequate resources to compete, not that they are waiting for others to do the job for them.
