Active duty Marine, honorable discharge coming up, wife and four kids, college student, lots of decisions making to plan for in the near and far futures.
It's election time. How is someone like me to find the time to thoroughly research previous lawmaking decisions, identify the positions of each candidate, hear each side, and make a conclusive stance for each particular issue, and how am I to do the required due diligence to know what's best for my Country as a whole?
Are local politics more easy to understand? Without a devout understanding of economics, how can I really speak intelligently about why I favor a particular economic policy? When is voting considered irresponsible? Is it more important to value the needs of my family over the needs of our nation? What is at the core of lawmaking? Are people inherently good or bad? Are we under attack from within? Is this an oligarchy?
Which direction is up?
As of this moment, I have decided not to vote.
