I think Obama is a socialist in the sense that he wants to enact socialist policies. I do not think that the people who elected him "can't read or write". That is stupid. A civics literacy test would be a fantastic prerequisite. It will never happen. Another good idea would be to just accept the fact that elections are nothing more than spoils systems nowadays and weight votes based on how much income tax an individual pays. Bring in your previous year's tax returns and your vote is thusly weighted. It will also never happen. Of course not being a Republican my opinion is not what you are looking for.

OK, I'll extend my query to Republicans and conservatives. And libertarians.

So, votes cast by people who make a lot of money should count for more than those cast by people who don't? |
