Voting vs Spending

The bottom line is that voting is ALWAYS inferior to spending.

For the longest time gay people couldn’t get married. Why? Tyranny of the majority… aka “democracy”. But what if the outcome had been determined by spending rather than voting?

Perhaps we can imagine that, not too long ago, the anti-gay side would have outspent the pro-gay side. So the anti-gay side would have won anyways. But… what would have happened to the money that each side spent?

Clearly the pro-gay side would have had their money returned to them. Not only that… but they would also have been given all the money that the anti-gay side spent. The money would have been distributed according to how much each person on the pro-gay side had been willing to spend.

Does this make sense? Whichever side spends the most wins… but the losing side gets a refund as well as all the money that the winning side spent.

I refer to this as Democracy vs Clarity. That links you to a more fleshed out argument.

The green god clearly rules this country. Look at the way our media exploits hate crimes or the race card. 15,000 people murdered in this country every year but only a handful get any media coverage. If we can spin the race card well even the president will jump on the ban wagon. As far as the rest of the people they death is lucky to be worthy of the back page of a local newspaper.

Look at gun control. Neither side cares about solving the problem of people being killed only their agenda. The fact people killed people before guns should be proof enough that taking away or restricting guns will not work. We need to focus on the killers not the tools the killer uses. Jail has not worked in thousands of years but is still the solution to the problem. Talk about insanity.
