People are always complaining that Americans don't understand what they are voting for and don't take voting seriously....so.....we should start charging 431.50 to vote in every election...that way only those people who are really serious about the fate of the country will actually vote...it will weed out the unserious, and the uninformed.....
Right?
Nope. Reeks of a poll tax. THAT will disenfranchise the poor and make it easier for the rich to control every aspect of our lives. On the other hand, I CAN see a simple civics test that has to passed to be able to vote. Too many morons who have no clue how the world works do indeed vote. I would also take away the right to vote for the dead. They have passed on, time to let the living do their duty.
