Newshour ran an interesting spot on the monetary imbalance here, may have more segments on it in the coming weeks.

I'll go along with that as long as you have to pay taxes in order to vote.

And have a modicum of knowledge about the issues and candidates. Perhaps, an old fashion civics test before voting. Hell, since the left feels the right is so stupid, they ought be for such an examination. I wonder what side would do better?

As a matter of fact it was Immelt who closed down every GE operation in Ohio and shipped the work overseas. Take a good look at a GE lightbulb, incandescent or flourescent, all made in China. Sylvania is the only US manufacturer left.

All I know is that one of the GOP's own potential Presidential candidates (Bachmann) would likely fail the civics test, having thought the battles of Lexington and Concord were fought in New Hampshire.
