Incentives, Election Day, and Reading

Today we have the opportunity to vote. Free, public elections are a hallmark of democracy. This right, this power was not given freely to all. In my lifetime people persisted and people died.

We also know the incentive to participate is not there for many. What will it take to get more people to involved?

Also, we know that every child needs to hear others read. It helps them become better readers. Yet, some children do not have this opportunity.

From an economics point of view, we must figure out what it takes. We must determine the incentive that will motivate people to do what they already know is right.
