My experience is that voting costs money. Our Democracy should NOT be based on cost but in the past 10 years I have seen a significant increase in the price of legislation.
It costs money to enact laws. It costs money to do the right thing. It also costs money to do the wrong thing.
I have always believed that doing the right thing would win out over all others regardless of cost, but that is no longer true.
I have received more requests for donations to political campaigns in the past 4 years than I have received in the past 20 years.
Each year it is becoming more and more expensive to participate in our democracy. How is this possible?
What has happened to our country when electing a politician becomes an extra cost to everyone?
This can't be right. Our elections should be paid for by the tax dollars we already pay.
I can't believe that we have to pay more to receive fair treatment.
Our system is ruined and I can't believe we are trying to export it to other countries.
