"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
B. Franklin
For all you fans of democracy, here are some simple tips to take "stupid" out of democracy:
1. Anyone who receives public money or other benefit because of indigence cannot vote. (Beggars cannot be choosers.)
2. Anyone who is in public office cannot vote in general elections. (Conflict of interest.)
3. Anyone who does not pay taxes, cannot vote. (Bring your tax receipts!)
4. Anyone who receives a salary, pension, or other money from the public treasury cannot vote in general elections. (Conflict of interest)
5. All public salary changes shall be by annual referendum:
[] up 1 %
[] down 5 %
[] no change.
6. No member of the judicial branch can serve in the executive or legislative branch (lawyers are banned - conflict with the balance of power).
