I can agree with that. I don't know how more people are not disgusted with their party of choice. In my opinion only, both are not doing a very good job. I think we all need to make a statement by voting a third party candidate in. Something needs to shake up both party's.

If you like the way things are going, don't vote. I don't think the "too busy" argument holds water. There is no excuse for anyone who is out of work for skipping the election.

What money? Only citizens are allowed to work in the US. If you do not want to vote, then you should face the consequences of your actions. Maybe then you will not take your citizenship for granted.
