Politics, the King Van Way (Part 2)

4 11 2006

Okay, here it is 3 days before elections… and the ads are running non-stop to vote for this person, that person, any person…. ads incessantly coming, which will only to get worse in a frenzy to ‘get out the vote’ and spur people to vote for their candidate…

You want to get out the vote??? Here is how to do it…

In the ‘OFFICIAL’ Kingdom of Van way… of course!   8 )

Background…

First, there are approximately 207 million eligible voters in the US… you can confirm this on your own, and it is true…

Second, the average voter turnout on a non-presidential election year is 39%… ditto confirm…

Third, the projected expense for political ads is… (drum roll, please!)

TWO BILLION DOLLARS…!!! Yes, that’s $2,000,000,000…

“KAAA-CHING!!!”

Break it down, and it works out to… (another drum roll…)

$ 24,774 dollars per vote spent on ads this year!!!

Is that insane, or what???

King Van considers this totally wasted money…

If the ads do anything, they turn OFF the voters, so they want no part of it anymore!!!

King Van asks you… “You want votes??”

Take the $ 24,774 (per person) that you are spending, and then…

(Final drum roll, please!)

GIVE IT ALL TO EACH OF THE PEOPLE THAT VOTE….!!!

That is right… just fork it over to us!

PAY EACH PERSON THAT VOTES $24,774

Doesn’t matter who you vote for, but if you vote, you get paid…

(QUITE HANDSOMELY, I MIGHT ADD!)

I doubt that it would take long for that 39% turnout rate to zip right up to the moon…

The main point?

Put the money to GOOD use!

(Yes, I think I could sure make good use of it!!! Couldn’t you?)

More importantly…

NO MORE NEED FOR ANY ADS ON TV, NEWSPAPERS, RADIO, ETC…

EVER!!

Doesn’t that make SO much more sense the the way it is done now??

So sayeth King Van, in his usual humble, elegant, and logical style…

So let it be written… So PLEASE let it be DONE!!!!

Mickey……if there was ever a man other then Jack Bauer who should run for public office it’s yourself. If I was given $24,774 dolllars I would buy a new car every year.

Or save up for two years and get a new BMW

vanlandw, you honor me… truly… but, already being the King of Van, I have no need or want of political office… I have my Kingdom, my Queen, and Princes and Paupers… and that is enough for me to live happily ever after… ; )
