Hello Björn!

Our leaders cant promise to lower taxes or create jobs or a myriad of other
issues for **YOU**.

I as a voter am not going to worry about Sweden or the Netherands when I go
into the polling place, no candidate has yet promised to lower your taxes or
create jobs for you, even if they did, thats not my concern.

When you vote in your parliamentarians, surely you dont worry about what they
can do for the USA, or do you?

We tried hard to stay out of the world, only to be sucked into 2 world wars..

But minding ones own business is exactly why Germany was allowed to do what it
did. But not before Versailles treaty sucked them dry.

Now there are other considerations since then as to why our Foreign Policy
became so bloated.

BUT I WILL NOT BASE MY DECISION IN THE POLLING PLACE as to WHOM **I** SHOULD
VOTE FOR ON THE CONCERNS OF PEOPLE NOT CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY..

Get it, Got It, Good.

Your advocation is ridiculous for the simple fact that who I vote for isnt
being elected/paid to govern your people.

I also lack the ability to see into the future, I could easily vote for one of
the candidates you find the most acceptable and then it turns out that that
person is a disaster, you never know?

I am sure you have voted for someone whom in turn ended up being a disaster.
(I think your Pirate Party antics bear this out)
