I'm coming in late here and don't feel like reading 6 screens of posts, so forgive me if you have already explained - what is a zero liability voter? It seems to me that even a guy who sleeps in the park and gets by on what he can panhandle would be effected by the economy and increases or decreases in average income. Heck, the amount of your spare change makes all the difference between a pint of vodka and 8 oz of Boone Farm!

PS Why did I know you would have bumper stickers?
