M y good friend and intellectual mentor, Doug Casey, recently shared the five reasons why he doesn’t vote. He typically republishes these thoughts every election cycle. Perhaps you’ve seen them before. While I agree with Doug in principle... I have a wholly different rationale for not voting. Given the upcoming midterm election, I thought I’d tell you about it. The reason I don’t vote (and you shouldn’t either) is... Our current system of governance is nothing more than tyranny, and it’s on track to destroy our country. Like Doug says, asking me to vote is like four wolves sitting around the table asking the sheep what he’d like for dinner. It certainly doesn’t matter what the sheep says. Asking me to participate in this charade won’t bring it any legitimacy – it will only make me a party to the fraud. Asking me to vote is like asking a free man to put himself willingly into bondage. It’s insulting. And when I say that my vote doesn’t count, I don’t mean no one will count it. I mean that, given the structure of our tax laws, there’s no way my voice will possibly matter.
