Vote-sizing.

 I like people who think out of the box and challenge the status-quo. People who put forward new ideas and to help mankind live better. But having read and listened to what Mr. Awambeng has to say, I think the idea is ludicrous and insane. ( I have the right to free speech).
If you claim that rich people should be striped of their most basic rights as citizens, you are putting them out of the political process and discouraging hard work. You say that poor people should have more votes than rich people, that means, only the poor should vote. Don't the rich people have a voice? They are the ones who run the economy (private sector), they are entrepreneurs, government policy affects them and their businesses. So should they not elect the government to which they pay the most taxes? Or how about , no vote, not taxes. If the rich don't vote, then let them not pay taxes too. How then do you run the economy and country?
You make your argument on the supposition that most rich people are corrupt. Well that is very inaccurate. There are hardworking men and women who earn money through legitimate means. Should they not have the right to vote? And how about a country where there are very few poor people? Countries that have very high per capita income. Should they not vote at all?
It is good to think but some thinking can only plunge people into a dark age. 
That said, I laud you for that fact that you can summon the energy and resources to spread an idea. Maybe you should come up with something more meaningful that can be helpful to society. Educate people on the virtues of democracy, campaign for human rights, or try some other thing. But not this idea that people should be penalized for working hard and making money.

Democracy and the voting exercise

Can you carryout some research, indepth research on why and what pushed our forefathers to think about democracy and voting in the first place? I will give you some guidelines:
1) What pushed them to think about voting and democracy?
2) Who were those controlling back then and how was the exercise of voting and democracy going to affect their power?
3) Was voting meant to take away (deprive them of) power from some people (and if yes - who were they) and give (empower them) to other people (and if yes, - who were they)?
4) Was democracy and voting meant to give advantage to a group of people (if yes, who) and disadvantage to others (if yes - who)?
Thanks.

“La route ne tue pas mais c’est nous qui tuons…” Black Rogers exclaims in his song titled “La Route ne Tue Pas.” His message is that the road itself does not kill. Instead we, the road users, kill ourselves because of our unruliness and irresponsible driving.   Many ghastly accidents occur every day. Road accidents are among the most agonizing because they occur frequently and claim many lives due to carelessness. Road accidents cause deaths that could...
