this “take-a-test to keep one’s citizenship” idea sounds

So, are you ready to allow these guys to elect the stand-ins for our
actual overseers?<br>

Citizenship is one thing. Education levels are another. Suppose
the income tax rates are bumped up a notch or two, with a
concomitant offer that if you pass a set of comprehensive high
school subject examinations, your taxes will be reduced on some
sliding scale -- the more exams passed, the more your taxes go down.<div class="im"><br>

I expect that the rate of homework completion and educational
