Who Should Vote?

There should be a law: If you don’t vote you can’t complain about the way things are going in our country.

We could establish the Complaint Police. Every time someone is heard complaining about the government, elected officials, or anything that has to do with the governing of our country, they could be asked to produce that little voter’s receipt you get after you cast your ballot. No receipt, you pay a fine. The fines could be put into a fund to promote voter turnout.

I am of course, being factitious but perhaps is worth thinking about and talking about as a way to encourage non-voters to recognize that voting is not only a privilege but a responsibility for all those who enjoy the American way of life.
