We voted for free ice cream

“Hey kids, you know Mr. Golden down the block? Yeah him, he’s got lots of money. Let’s have us a vote. All in favor of having him buy us all ice cream cones say Aye! Hooray! We had a vote and we won. Let’s go tell him to go buy us some ice cream. After all, we live in a democracy and we voted on it, so he’s got to.” Right?
