American voter turnout is the second lowest of all countries

American voter turnout is the second lowest of all countries, and only modestly higher than South Korea, but well below 50% in either case. Furthermore, since the voting population is roughly equally split along the middle in its party affiliation, it is astounding that less than 25% of America's voters set the political stage every four years. One wonders just what the source of this record apathy may be: perhaps it is that as empirical data demonstrate, neither party actually represents any longer the interest of a majority of the US voters, but merely those of corporate lobby groups and, of course, Wall Street. As such, over 50% of voting age Americans don't even bother to make it to the ballots. It may thus be only a matter of time before disenfranchised if silent majority finally says enough, rereads some of this country's founding documents, and agrees that taxation is only fair with representation.

Basically we deserve to be where we are, in massive debt, on the verge of having 1/3 of the population 100% dependant on the government for survival, students so much in debt by the time they graduate they owe 20 years or more of servitude to any firm that hires them just to pay off the debt they owe.  However, for the Democrats this is exactly what they dream of, the entire population completely dependant on government, the Democratic Party's utopia.

All hail big brother.
