Poster Comment:

Keep the old brain working...... Be sure to look at the demographics at the end. It's really scary how little most of the population knows. Think you know what's going on??? Takes 30 seconds. You can never underestimate the intelligence of the American people. This is appalling. There are no tricks here - just a simple test to see if you are current on your information. This is quite good and the results are shocking. Test your knowledge with 12 questions, then be surprised when you see how others did.

#11. To: Jethro Tull, 4 (#0)

Here's Your Score: You correctly answered 11 out of the 11 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 95% of the general public.

That is just freaking scary.

95pc of the nation should not be allowed to vote.

95pc of the nation should not be allowed to vote.

That was true at the founding of this nation, and it is true now.

I've always strongly advocated for a test to ensure that a potential voter could pass a basic literacy test, could pass a basic test on the Constitution, could demonstrate household accounting skills (check balancing, budgeting) and could perform simple algebra. Additionally, you'd have to own property to vote on tax, "redistribution" or property issues. The test, which you'd take months in advance of your first voting experience (if you pass) would be re-administered every five years. No trick questions, nothing arcane, just a basic skills test. You would have to pass all sections with an 80% or higher.

Basic skills you have to have, to get along in life, but the testing of which would knock out 95% of the current voter base.

The concept show called "Are you smarter than a 5th grader", which as I understand it, demonstrated most adults are not, is a sure sign that we really need to restrict voting.
