Perhaps I have deployed to often, or have lived within a County where excess voting doesn't occur...but over all...we vote too much.
We vote for City Councils and proposals.
We vote for Bond issues....from rebuilding a library to retrofitting a firehouse or police station or for extra funds to clean parks....the list goes on and on.
We vote on Levy's to add an additional 15 cents per thousand dollars we owe on our homes, to our existing mortgages or however else they wish to collect the money.
And, as if that isn't enough, we have State Primaries, Straw Polls , Congressional Votes ( for re-election or to toss aside like so much refuse....remember 33 jobs open this year ), the ever unpopular "Popular" Vote for the presidency....and if that weren't enough......
The candy companies wish us to choose the new or popular color of M and M's. It would realistically drive anyone who likes to support certain ideas and events to wither and cower at the thought of .... yet, another Election. This is just theory and is not yet proven....please don't post angry comments if these words don't describe you....or even anybody you know. Have a great day everyone!!
