The idea of repealing anyone’s right to vote in this country would be found repugnant to most and it is to me also. But the idea of a corrupt voting body is equally repugnant to me. While I consider the passage of this as highly unlikely I propose in the hopes of tweaking the voter’s conscience to really look at what their motives are when they vote.

it gets the point across that we can’t pin all the blame on the politicians. We have the exact type of government we voted for and wanted. We wanted them to create money out of thin air as long as we got our share. Every voter goes to the polls with a sticker on their forehead that says “What’s in it for me”. Perhaps “settle” for asking for voluntary restraint from going to the polls if they have a conflict of interest.

We would not tolerate such behaviour from our judges or our politicians so why do the voters do it themselves?
