Votes For Sale
January 9, 2008
I was listening to Fair Game on PRI tonight and a story came on about a study at New York University, which found that 66% of students there would sell their presidential vote for a year of free tuition and 20% would give up their vote for an iPod. I'm not sure what disappoints me more... the fact that people care so little about our country that they are willing to put a price tag on their vote, or the fact that in this country, with enough work, you really can "buy an election".
