[QUOTE="NutHugger, post: 7251575, member: 627450"] well while we're all on the ideological fringe, spouting out ideas that will never happen. First, it's obvious that people that do not own land should be have the right to vote on measures that can affect the property tax rate. The same that if you're not putting in on dinner you cannot choose the restaurant, etc. Beggars cannot be choosers. Next, there needs to be a competancy exam before people can cast their vote. For instance if you don't know who the president, vice president, speaker of the house, and senate majority leader are, what party they are, and what state they are from, you do not know enough to vote in a national election. Just little things like that NEED to happen. We have far too many people voting that have no clue what they are talking about. Next, for offices that have requirements on who can run for them, the vetting process needs to be made public. In the case of obama and the birthers.... had the vetting been done publicly, the birthers wouldn't exist. The veil of secrecy is what has caused the problem. If there is nothing to hide, why hide it? That person is there to represent the public, so make public whether or not they are eligible to run so that there is no doubt. [/QUOTE]
