Don’t Vote: It Just Encourages the Bastards

Name: Don’t Vote: It Just Encourages the Bastards
Author: P. J. O’Rourke

by P. J. O’Rourke

America's most subversive conservative, O'Rourke describes government as a devil's bargain between power, freedom, and responsibility, and goes on to hilariously skewer the politicians who have bargained with us to consolidate power, and the many mini-bargains and evasions that citizens have made with the consequences of their choice.
