There's a movie on cable right now with Charlize Therone called The Box.
I haven't seen it, but the trailers make it look like the premise is this:
If you push the button on this box, you will gain a million dollars in your account.
However, someone in the world, whom you do not know, will perish.
This is not a new premise.
The Democrats have been playing this game for years:
"Flip this lever in the ballot box, and money will accrue to your account.
It will however come from the account of other people who will not be able to hold you responsible."
It does not, however, star Charlize Therone.
