VOTE BRIBERY is when politicians influence votes with free handouts.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST is when people must choose between those handouts, or what's best for the country.
If Wal-Mart allowed their customers to vote on the prices of products, they would vote for everything to be FREE. And Wal-Mart would go bankrupt.
So why do we allow people to vote for their own free handouts? They're voting this country into bankruptcy, and politicians are exploiting this to get elected!
Only investors who CARE about a company should vote. Those who invest in America are TAXPAYERS and those who SERVE(D) this country.
Please make it law that only taxpayers, and those who serve(d), can vote. Those who bum off the government have already got their "fair share"; they should NOT also get to vote.
