A Math Problem:

I just heard that due to Federal Campaign Reorganization and Financing Reform... each of the two Presidential Candidates will have only $75,000,000 (ONLY that much) to run their ads and pay their campaign managers and staff (staph?). Supposing that there are not quite 300,000,000 people in the U.S. (as noted by www.popclocks.com).. and only approximately 40% of the population votes... that leaves us with 120,000,000 people voting. Let's say each candidate decided to pay us for voting: Every single voter would receive $0.625 from each candidate (minus "shipping and handling" charges, which, some governmental agencies (yes, you, IRS) would take it to mean that we now owed them $3.95 for the difference).

Another thing I learned the other day, was that single women are the largest "untapped" voting um... what do you call them? Sterotypes? Soccer Moms are one. Nascar Dads (how do you get a Nascar Dad, prithee? There are probably only 150 parents of Nascar drivers in the ENTIRE COUNTRY!)are another.. a voting group, anyways. Single women, however, span race, religious, ethnic, financial lines. So we can't be stereotyped (HEAR US ROAR!). Say that 10% of the 40% of the 300,000,000 people are single women voters. Doesn't that mean that each of us women would garner $6.25 if they paid only us to vote (c'mon girls... get with me!)? Heeyyeelll Yes!

That's right, single women... it's MY brand of the Reaganomic "Trickle-down" theory: If every single woman has $6.25 (that's $2.30 after "shipping and handling") to spend on ANYTHING they want... say, a stick of chewing gum, a diet coke, and a condom at the local Quik Stop... then wouldn't our economy be Even Better?

Wink. Grin. Unite! Vote for (insert name of your favourite deligate -- I would rather rot than have to decide which is the lesser of two evils, today... send your $2.30 and It'll sway my vote).
