Oddbean new post about login | logout When you cast your vote you are electing someone to speak for you. If you let someone speak for you, you voluntarily disenfrachised yourself. Not a smart move.
Speaking is not all they do. They get to collectively decide how much and how to tax us. How is voting for someone who claims to tax us less a worse option than telling people I want to be taxed less? How does my vote take away my ability to tell people that??
