How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth?

Posted by samzenpus on from the how-much-are-you-offering dept.

Attila Dimedici writes "Two thirds of the students at NYU would give up their right to vote in the next election for a full scholarship. Some would be satisfied with an ipod. A few would be willing to give up the right for the rest of their lives for one million dollars."

    Those that give up their right to vote, give it up to evil persons. Those who do such a thing deserve not the right to vote.

    What if a supermaniacal, evil genius bent on ruling this country decided to take the billions of dollars he or she just happens to have, and buys votes in key areas in order to become President. What then?
