Mark Weston is, among millions of others today, an example of the foolish, deluded, dangerously misguided and under-informed liberal Democrat. He wrote an article in TIME the other day entitled 65 Million Americans Should Threaten to Not Pay Taxes. He said they should not pay taxes until Democracy is restored.

Obviously a distraught Hillary supporter, Mr. Weston then proceeds to say that "Donald Trump won the electoral vote with about 46% of the popular vote, while Hillary Clinton received about 48%. If the parties stay this evenly divided, another electoral mishap is more likely than not in the next 20 years. ... [there is a] need to amend the Constitution to establish direct presidential elections ... The cry, “No Taxation Without Representation,” inspired America to declare its independence in 1776. It can also lead to a rebirth of democracy in our own time."

This article displays so much ignorance I won't even try to address it all. Here are a few of the big ones:

- We must have "direct Presidential elections" vs the Electoral College system. He focuses only on the two elections in the past 16 years that ended with the popular vote winner losing the Electoral College. In both of which his team lost. This has only happened 5 times in 229 years, 45 elections. The fact is the Electoral College system is genius. It works exactly as the Founders intended, 229 years ago and today. Mr. Weston, and others, should do some research and discover how uninformed they are and how misguided their judgement is on this subject, just because their team lost.

- He talks about fixing the Constitution when Republicans do this again in the future, so his team will win. So can Republicans not pay taxes if Democrats win the electoral college with a minority of the vote? He feels this could never happen. Clearly a shortsighted view. It happened before.

- He should research the concept of "no taxation without representation". His team has 48 of the 100 Senator seats in Congress. Hardly no representation. This is typical of the radical left. Being involved in the discussion doesn't matter. Only being in the majority matters, and then dictating their agenda vs negotiating it with the rest of the country. Sad. And, dangerously tyrannical.

- Mr. Weston says he wants us to change the Constitution so we can a rebirth of democracy in our own time. A common definition of “democracy” is, “Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives” — we are that now. But, the United States is not, nor has it ever been, a direct democracy, in the sense of a country in which laws (and other government decisions or elections) are made predominantly by majority vote. The United States is a constitutional republic. Mr. Weston wants to change that 229 year old fact because in the past 16 years he has been unhappy twice. Crybaby.

- Can't you win a straight up vote, he questions. Yes, Trump did - in 30 states! That's a majority, right! You want to govern the 20 states Hillary won, okay go ahead. You want to govern the 20 major cities Hillary won, okay go ahead. We'll compare results later.

A friend of mine said it this way: Sore losers. Hard to imagine that this article could even be written much less distributed. Our system worked as the framers of the Constitution intended it to work.

That is a gentle critique.

My view? Mark Weston and anyone who agrees with this article are fools. They are misguided and dangerous. The dangerous fools are maybe the worst of our country's citizens. One candidate might call them "deplorable".
