2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Somehow I doubt those 66% of Americans will bother voting for the people and parties that would make this happen though.
Well yeah. I deserve that vacation. Not those other people though. You know the ones I mean.
Because neither party would? The red koolaide people would dismiss this idea immediately, because it's clearly scary communism. The blue koolaide people would pretend to support it while asking for your votes, then proceed to conveniently forget about it entirely, or pretend to try to do it while also receiving lobbying money from nearly every corporation and anti-workers-union type organization.
The people that would support this are not part of either party.
Thank you, you've rather made my point for me by erroneously assuming I was referring to either of those two parties
Or, just maybe, I've expanded on your original point.
I don't doubt it, but our passion for talking about the presidency has to turn into a passion for voting for local offices, too. The governor, representatives, and most key to this issue - unions. One must imagine the Libs unhappy.
