Students Would Sell Right to Vote for an iPod

Considering brainwashing, alienation, disenfranchisement, and the net result of Diebold voting machines, it makes perfect sense:

“NYU students said they’d take in exchange for their right to vote in the next presidential election” an iPod of a year of free tutition. “Only 20 percent said they’d exchange their vote for an iPod touch,” reports Politico.

Only?

“But 66 percent said they’d forfeit their vote for a free ride to NYU. And half said they’d give up the right to vote forever for $1 million.”

Of course, depending on who our rulers choose to run roughshod over us, the fact remains that all it would take is a congressional vote and stroke of the pen to take that cool million away in the form of confiscatory taxes.

Ninety percent of the students who said they’d give up their vote for the money also said they consider voting “very important” or “somewhat important”; only 10 percent said it was “not important.”

Also, 70.5 percent said they believe that one vote can make a difference — including 70 percent of the students who said they’d give up their vote for free tuition.

But still not as important as a million bucks
