Incentive to vote (#2113)

Well we do live in a capitalistic economy so why not give each voter a prize for them performing their function of voting? For one thing those who don't vote don't get penalized but they don't get rewarded either so anyone who wishes to participate in our politics should receive some special choice of options established to help them in some way that is significant enough to cause due consideration. It is consideration we want to encourage not only in what we get for voting but why we vote for the party or politician who receives our vote. This is all to help us along toward becoming more informed about the direction and application of polices that directly effect us. All of us can be winners if we set out to make our society about all of us. Enough with the special interest lobby and all their tunnel vision about how our country should be perceived. We need a much more comprehensive approach to our problems and the solutions we formulate. Our aspirations and goals should be part of our future planning and not just our desire for wealth. We need a war free world and a clean planet. As we devise policies that move us away form the past necessary solutions for those times we need to devise and implement new more current technology and innovation to our vision. It takes consensus to build a community and the time for self wealth as the only goal is past. It will be hard to wean us off the idea that we are still a wild west country but we must if we are together to leave a better planet than the one we lived on. There is so much nobility in the idea of doing what is right and good. We all find pleasure in happiness and real accomplishment. We can do this but the rhetoric of greed must stop and the new booming voice of all of us must start to come to fruition.
