[Vision2020] An Idea With Some Merit?

[Tom Hansen]

As much as your intentions appeal to me, Keely, I personally find
representation, based upon race and/or economic/financial status, to be
absolutely appalling.

>From whose ranks would these representatives come?  The poor?  I doubt it.

Couple this concept with "corporate free speech", recently guaranteed by
the Supreme Court, and guess where this road leads ten years, twenty
years, or forty years from now.

If the poor and/or minorities have any representation, at all, it will be
at the whims and wishes of Wall Street.

Segregation is NOT representation.
