I kid, I kid. Just channeling my inner Heinlein. There is a conversation to be had about perverse incentives, though.

They shouldn't be voting indeed. And I am not kidding at all.
All they can vote for is proliferation of government policies and limiting freedoms of people who are actually creating value.

From TFA, it appears the trend is actually rapidly accelerating, including this interesting fact:
>Four in five jobs created in the past two years have been in the non-market sector, which are occupations in industries heavily influenced by government spending and regulation.

Why? I immediately thought: Which country and starting to read the article gives the answer.
Americans seem to assume that there is only one country and abroad is an exception needing extra disclaimers.
Edit: The article also says the study is by a right of center thinktank. Would that also be needed to be mentioned in the title? Of course it would the context. But the rule is not to editorilize, we can read and think ourselves.
