I’m going to propose what may seem to some a fairly radical action to ensure our electoral processes will deliver the not quite so right outcome.  If elections are all about deciding which course will deliver the best future for our nation, it seems only logical to let those who will most likely be around for that future to be the ones who make the choices.  Let’s be real, it’s the over age 60 voters who are the ones really responsible for the poor horrific condition of our government today.   Haven’t they done enough damage?  

Now, according to recent studies, the median male life expectancy is 75 and female is 80 years (and this is high end of age graph).  These are statistics important to consider within the context of our voting processes.  Knowing this, why should those over 60 be allowed to vote?   Their stake in the future is tenuous at best and really this group is not only old in years, but most of their beliefs are usually from reflections in their rear view mirrors, not focusing on what's needed to navigate the road ahead. 

Most over age sixty voters were and are, if not militant activists, then at the minimum enablers of the ongoing oppression and suppression of their fellow men and women.  This age group is most likely to vote against any platform that is supportive of gay marriage - putting more resources into societal welfare programs -the DREAM act and of course, a woman’s right to choose.   It’s no secret they have possessed, supported and nurtured all forms of bigotry from racism to chauvinism.  And I don’t need no lousy fact checkers to confirm this!

It’s true that the older and more infirm they are, that besides needing depends, they are just too damn dependent on others to clean up their mess.    Besides, too many of these folks really don’t have much of a vested interest in keeping Social Security and Medicare intact for the younger groups.  It’s like Mitt says, “My job is not to worry about those people.”

Now, by enacting this eligible voters age change, we also put the responsibility for securing a positive education platform and access to college funding assistance right where it belongs, on the students and their parents.  These are the ones who should make the decision to vote for the people who will make sure education programs are a priority.

The majority of old people are also not likely to be as well educated, so of course not that savvy about Wall Street investing practices as members of the younger demographic.  They are less likely to understand the need to maintain and strengthen regulatory mandates on the financial sector, whereas the not so old aren't bullish on the less is more regulatory processes.  Those under 60 should be the ones who decide the fate of retirement programs.  Because if they don't do it now most of these voters won’t be able to retire for a long, long time – if  ever......

The truth is, as already noted, the over 60 group are the people most responsible for the horrific mess that is our government today.  They had their chance and they screwed up, so wouldn’t it best for the future of our nation to cancel their voting privileges?  I’m sure there will be some objections by AARP and other radical groups who will claim we’re violating their constitutional rights, but hey, isn’t that piece of parchment too old to matter too? 

(UNTIL THIS PASSES, I’M GONNA KEEP VOTING AND PAYING ATTENTION – HOPE YOU DO THE SAME!)
