Oblomov--

>>>It seems to me that so many Americans (no connection to race and class) take the idea of individual freedom lightly. They seem willing to throw away once-cherished freedoms in the name of uplifting humanity.<<

If you could give a example of the above I would find it helpful.

In your "be taxed to vote proposal" it seems you equate personal freedom with more money...which you would have if you disenfranchised yourself under your system...but no guarantee that you would retain freedom or civil rights and possibly no recourse to redress the situation once disenfranchised.

>>>So, what is to be done? Should the status quo be defended?<<

I'm a proponent of campaign finance reform myself.
