Well J242.. I don’t need an advanced degree in political science to comment on the trajectory of politics in the NW. Citizens, even you, are allowed to gather information and make their decisions. Are you suggesting qualifying benchmarks … hmm? Literacy tests maybe? You may start a trend. Are you suggesting that this be true… well then, no voter without said degrees, should be allowed to vote on initiatives to raise taxes.. …in fact, let’s just restrict voting to those with advanced banking and finance degrees? “Please, please, please.. take care of me, succor me, don’t make me think, work, risk… I am not qualified” That your rallying cry?
See in the blue bubble that surrounds King County… the rest of your fellows are of different opinion. They really don’t need a nanny state or a surrogate parent.
Even with Americans poised to pick a president and one-third of the nation’s senators, most voters continue to feel the federal government does not have the official approval of its citizenry. One of the central tenets of the Declaration of Independence is that “governments derive their only just powers from the consent of the governed,” but just 25% of Likely U.S. Voters think the federal government today has that consent. Sixty percent (60%) believe the federal government does not have the consent of the governed. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
