DO NOT VOTE

P. J. O'Rourke wrote Don't Vote It Just Encourages The Bastards and in the next week we'll re-elect some, toss a few out and at the same time add a fresh batch.

Two years ago he stated "We lost that election, because almost every political contest yesterday was won by a politician. In a couple of cases angry nuts won, which is an improvement over politicians.  But it's just no good enough."
Here's a clip of him speaking on the topic and his vision for what would make a better political situation: Kill, Screw, Marry.  Economic freedom via the Free Market.  "Wrong rights" which kill freedom and what political power is verses freedom.

John Stossel did a segment featuring The Myth of the Rational Voter author Bryan Caplan: Don't Know?  Don't Vote!

Now I hope our followers are rational and vote wisely if they do vote... just remember that you're encouraging those bastards.  ;)  I'm sure you have connected the power of voting to how it relates to economics so share this with your friends who may not have made that connection yet and start the conversation next time you see them!
