Sadly enough... it's kinda like a true story.

“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, ‘I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.’ To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: ‘If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.’”

It depends what kind of cheap behavior someone is engaged in.

What sort has you irked?

I just hate cheap people period. 

anybody else hate cheap people?

Not if they're poor.

So you'll be happy when 100% of Trump voters show up on election day?

Just my way of saying that higher voter turnout does not necessarily produce better outcomes.  The marginal voters of whatever political persuasion tend to be uninformed idiots.  I do not hope that uninformed idiots turn out in great numbers.

Good government is a higher good than high voter turnout, IMO.

Many of the "reforms" of the Progressive Era had the impact--as desired--of reducing voter turnout, BTW.

This line is sort of nonsensical.  Better to whom?  If everyone votes, the will of people is heard.  

Now anyone who knows about who votes and who doesn't also knows that no republican would ever win another national election if everyone 18 and up voted.  All the young, all the poor...this balancing act of leaning one way and leaning the other way from 4-year cycle to 4-year cycle would be over.

It's funny.

In your world, "the masses" are idiots who can't be trusted to tie their shoes.
Until it's election time.  Suddenly they are sages who represent "the will of the people."

I hate expensive people.
