               ALPHABET MAN IN HAPPIER DAYS

Sometimes there come to us common folk revelations from sources one would never predict in a thousand years.

Sal Paycheck, that host of Hangman, you know the alphabet show on those independent networks that we watch when we have the croup or the whooping cough and such? You know that show that some of us watch when we are in no condition to watch the news?

Well this fellow has come up a new way of lookin at politics and statesmanship and such.

Have you read Wheel Of Fortune host Pat Sajak's blog post for National Review Online today? Because if you have, you might be saying: "I'd like to buy a W, T, and an F please, Pat."

That's because Sajak asks the question that's been on no one's mind: "Should state workers be able to vote in state elections on matters that would benefit them directly?"

In what appears to be his first post, Sajak pointed out today that no one in his family, or even his "kids' teachers or the guys who rotate my tires" is allowed to appear on his show, because there is at least the appearance of a conflict of interest. "In nearly all private and public endeavors," he continues, "there are occasions in which it's only fair and correct that a person or group be barred from participating because that party could directly and unevenly benefit from decisions made and policies adopted."

Old P-A-T may have kicked a real extra pointer here.

And I thought he was either the spell master of all time or the most irrelevant bastard in the entire free world.

But Slayjack has come up with a real revelation here.

Think about it. We are sick and tired of seeing the same ballots over and over again.

Well we would have separate ballots for the voters, depending upon their occupations and such.

1. Property taxes. Only those who did not own real estate could vote for referendums having to do with property taxes. I mean, that way there would be a neutral take on this matter. I mean those that own real estate are hit the hardest with real estate taxes. So there is no frickin way property owners can be fair and balanced in their individual assessment upon such matters.
2. Sales Tax. Only those people who do not buy things should be able to vote on referendums having to do with sales taxes.  So only those people with no visible means of support should ever have the vote on such matters.
3. Excise Tax. Rich people are the only people who need to pay so called excise taxes. Those are the extra kind of taxes paid at the time of purchase for luxury goods and such. Now how could rich folks ever look at some referendum on such a matter fairly and equitably?
4. Income Taxes. Only those people who have no income should be able to vote on such matters. How else could they gauge such matters without having a conflict of interest.
5. Corporate Taxes. Now only larger corporations pay taxes. The small corporations are just ‘flow through’ kind of enterprises. But I believe that all those folks who work for the larger corporations should not be able to vote on issues surrounding the taxing of those entities.

But we should take this matter one step further I should think.

Corporations send millions and millions of their dollars directly to politicians. And politicians send billions upon billions of dollars directly to corporations through legislation.

So I think that politicians should be banned from ever voting on matters concerning corporations.

All corporate matters should be decided by referendum. And only those folks not directly employed by corporations should be able to vote on these matters.

Kat Flapjack has touched a nerve here folks and should be congratulated for his incredible insight into the politics of the day.

And here I just thunk he ran spellin bees.

I attempted to contact Vanilla White concernin all this but her spokesperson said she had no comment.
