I declare that to run for a a political office you must pass both an IQ test and score above 120 and an ethics test which you should score "not a dbag" or its equivalent.

I'd agree, except that I know a lot of people with sub 120 IQs that are awesome administrators.

Not to mention that traditional IQ testing really just tests your ability to take a test. People that choke on tests won't score to their potential.

Now, if they can make a working ethics test......
Hey, make them play the intro to the early Ultima games where they used you answers to questions to determine your class. : )

Either way, 116 is average so 120 isn't asking for much more than competence. I scored a 167 like ten years ago and I'm a lot smarter even proportionately than I was then. So it should at least eliminate the complete idiots. We should also remember that being a secretary isn't the same as being a politician. Politicians walk around with a loaded gun aimed at the general public they should have half a brain about how the affect of what they do will have on us. Heck, they don't even pay taxes, yet they are in charge of tax code, WTF.

People need to understand that the bigger the government is, the more tax burden gets placed on non-government employees. Either they need to get smaller, or start paying taxes like the rest of us. It should be "By the people, for the people, like the people."
