TOO LATE TO VOTE?

Many citizens don't vote because they think it doesn't matter, that the government is too big to care what voters want. They suggest that all of the candidates are the same, and no positive changes result from voting. Also, they claim politicians break promises regularly, so what are you going to do?

A bumper sticker says Don't Vote, It Only Encourages Them.

Thinkers' Guide's answer to this monumental problem is to vote for Congress as a group instead of as individual representatives. Tie their paychecks to their performances as a whole. If you want details on the mechanics of this plan, give me a call. If a Democrat or Republican answers, hang up the phone.

It's all so simple.
