Scaring senors to vote is and old evil trick....they only do it because they vote....young people are what the future is about they need to vote and take it seriously,politians don't take young people seriously because they don't use thier right,strength in numbers. don't waste your vote this year on the 3rd party....make a choice....old people you need to think about why there is a death tax...tax upon tax, if you think you worked hard to build your current after tax wealth, you should let your offspring spend it not the government.
