I don’t believe people understand what a wonderful right it is. I have worked with people who have come from other countries who cannot believe the ignorance of Americans. For them to hear “well, it doesn’t matter what I think” or “my opinion does not count” they are in shock and turmoil. How can you say that, you can vote. If you don’t like something you can tell someone and keep telling someone in order to get you opinion heard and voted on. We are fools, and we do not know how lucky we are to have such a right. I believe that the American people have gotten so use to people telling them what to do, they just rolled over and accepted it. They no longer think for themselves, the no longer feel pride for their country, they no longer respect their own rights, the no longer truly fight for what they believe in. . If the people are no longer willing to standup against something they don’t believe in, how will the government ever know its not what we want? The government does not make the people; the people make its government. I would not give up my right to vote. I don’t believe people understand what a wonderful right it is.

My vote already counts very little on its own (I'm one of hundreds of millions of voters). In fact, there's even the possibility that thanks to election corruption and that great electoral college, my vote might not be worth anything at all - unless someone wanted to give me a million dollars for it.

However if I did have the right to vote I'd probably sell it anyway because I feel the government is totally against my generation (twenty-somethings). We will have no social security and high living costs and taxes are all stacked against us. A lot of young people don't vote because there is a sentiment that things won't change. If every one of us twenty-somethings can sell our vote I think we'd do it just to offset the future costs we will have in this country and all the money we contribute to social security that we will never see.

But again, it depends on the consequences. But just for my one single vote, there's absolutely no question that I wouldn't take the money. I'd volunteer to go to Jury duty too lol In most situations, I’d probably take it. But again, it depends on the consequences.
