Mustachioed douche-and-a-half John Stossel wants "ignorant" people to "stay home on Election Day"

Ignorant people, please stay home on Election Day

It’s not what people don’t know that gets them into trouble. It’s what they know that isn’t so.

“A very common view is that foreign aid is actually the largest item in the budget,” Caplan said. “It’s about 1 percent.”

Actually, even less. Medicare, Social Security, the military and interest on the debt make up over half the budget. But surveys show that people believe foreign aid and welfare are the biggest items.

So, you ignorant people, please stay home on Election Day. And those of you who do vote, please resist the instinctive urge to give our tribal elders more power.

1. Well, that leaves out the vast majority of Republicans.

That's called an unintended consequence, Stossel.

2. Was he talking about himself?

I actually hope that ignorant people DO stay home. In fact I wish they wouldn't vote at all. I wish they wouldn't pollute the airwaves with their bile-filled blathering invectives.

But you can't have everything.

the Founding Fathers thought that the people were too stupid to vote for President so they decided to have them vote for an Elector.
