I visited your guest's site and I really liked it. He has a number of videos that are interesting, opinionated, entertaining in an serious way. I hope you'll have him back again sometime. I'd like to hear him develop his take on how a person can move ahead economically and yet not to fall victim to a rigged game.

By noraAugust 20, 2008 - 2:00pmThom, you passed on a big, fat softball.
When Joseph Farah proposed that people who receive money from the government ought not be allowed to vote, you could have knocked that one out of the park!
He's suggesting the entire military-industrial complex be disenfranchised! If you work for or invest in Blackwater USA, Halliburton, KBR, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Titan, Dyncorp, CACI and on and on, then you cannot vote. Add that to the people that worked for Bear Stearns, JP Morgan Chase, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and all of the other culprits of the subprime loan crisis, and you start adding huge numbers to the non-voting pool.
I don't think these are the people that Farah wants to exclude, but to be consistent, disenfranchising the recipients of Corporate Welfare would have to enforced as vigorously as the exclusion of the poor recipients of social welfare.
