It is a voting question

Do we Americans want to be ruled or just represented?

The question is a big deal to many. So many humans in the world cannot just be represented.

Now here in the USA there seems to be today a kind of “perfect storm” of the executive and the legislative working together to rule us. And we did vote for them, so be it. But we can vote other ways in the future, too, it seems. And even today we still are complaisant, as even paying all our taxes on time, local, state, and federal. After all, we did vote for these people, local, state, and federal.

As an old song goes by Bob Dylan, the times they are a changing.

My encouragement is to vote. That’s it.

Those who have organized their voters, as in community organizers, have done a good job. But in the future, the majority can still vote, too. There are alternatives, like what most voters think, and are willing to pay for.

The idea is pretty simple. It has been offered many ways over hundreds of years. Basically if the minority have nots finally figure out in a democracy that they can vote themselves incomes from the majority haves, then eventually, the whole system will collapse.

The obvious question is why would these minority voters do such things. The obvious answer is selfishness. Mostly in the short term, like decades, it seems. What’s in it for me today seems to be a human embarrassing tendency.

So just go vote.

The idea of the USA and the new world are so different from the rest of the old world still counts. That is probably why so many of our ancestors immigrated here. And being able to vote was a big deal.
