Repeal Women's Voting

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal — often viewed as the genesis of big government (and socialism in the US) — really just continued an earlier trend. What changed before Roosevelt came to power that explains the growth of government? The answer is women's suffrage.

Per capita state government spending after accounting for inflation had been flat or falling during the 10 years before women began voting. But state governments started expanding the first year after women voted and continued growing until within 11 years real per capita spending had more than doubled. The increase in government spending and revenue started immediately after women started voting.

Women's suffrage also explains much of the federal government's growth from the 1920s to the 1960s. In the 45 years after the adoption of suffrage, as women's voting rates gradually increased until finally reaching the same level as men's, the size of state and federal governments expanded as women became an increasingly important part of the electorate.

Young single women start out being much more liberal than their male counterparts and are about 50 percent more likely to vote Democratic. As previously noted, these women also support a higher, more progressive income tax as well as more educational and welfare spending.

One can conclude that women voting has ruined this country. Government grew and taxes increased along with socialism. So what about men that vote along the same line? Are they really men, or as has been said, girly men?

If you've ever lived with a woman with PMS or going through menopause then you'd realize they're not fit for the office of President either. Ever seen a T shirt that says "I have PMS and a handgun, any questions"?. Just replace the term handgun with nuclear weapons and you get my drift.
