Commentary over at SA from Fiwiki: "This is the same type of bad policy as putting the entire burden of financing the government on an increasingly smaller number of wealthy individuals….. because these people have the greatest ability to find ways of shielding their income from taxation…..not to mention, they can easily LEAVE.
When you don’t pay anything, you have very little incentive to say “no” to more government spending…after all, you aren’t paying for it. Consequently they have consistently voted for anyone that promises them MORE….The DNC platform is built on an electorate that " procreate as a career" and "votes for a living."
The notion of giving the vote to ignorant people is directly in contrast with the founding ideals of our nation. While we can all agree that limiting the vote according to race or sex, is unacceptable, the logic behind requiring someone to pay into the system before giving them a vote seems to make more sense today than ever."
We Nattered: No brains, no vote? Voting is one of two things you don't need a license for, having children is the other. It is foolish to think that ignorance connotates a lack of education or intelligence.
Plenty of ignorant people work, pay taxes and vote. This is evident from having elected many deficients into office and the systemic problems we have vis a vis government fiscal policies (budget deficits and national debt). You get the government you deserve… right?
We had a revolution about taxation without representation. What is being suggested is, no representation without taxation, which I disagree with. You suggest that the poor, ignorant and disenfranchised should have no vote, nor say. No money, no vote? Who cares about those poor bastards anyway? Give them Ipads, right? They just breed and vote themselves raises, right? I've got a great idea, lets have a purge and rid ourselves of all our MSM "problems."
Penal Colony Populace = 2M
The John Galts of this world would profit by rounding up the "un-Americans" and having a real gas, like Belsen perhaps? That might get rid of our problem but oh, wait… the prison population is already at 2 million or 1 in 100. Another expanding cottage industry as the workforce is quite malleable and cheap.
So first we eliminate the low hanging fruit, because 2 million inmates aren't too hard to catch. Campaign catch phrase, to death row no, to death we go. At an average of 50K per annum per head we just saved $100 billion. Then round up the homeless…
Homeless = 3.5M
On a single night in January 2014, 578,424 people were experiencing homelessness. However, the total number of indigent and homeless is closer to 3.5 million, each costing the taxpayer an average of 20K per year for a total of $70 billion saved. Campaign catch phrase, no home, gotta go.
LGBT = 16M
What about the LGBT population, an "abomination" in a forgiving God's eye? Estimate LBGT at 5% of 320 million, so we are going to need some really big fish nets to catch those 16 million fans of Cait. Which potentially saves us, at 20K per head per annum for average HIV treatment, that's $320 billion per year. Because you just know they are all going to get it in the end (no pun intended). And according to some of those book thumpers, that's why God made HIV. And I thought he loved all his children? I'm confused. Campaign catch phrase: Catch a queer, pierce your left ear (left is right you know) or since many want the former guy on the 1976 Wheaties box so badly, Catch a Cait, less queer bait?
Po Folk or below the Poverty Line = 47M
Then the poor, and we are not going off those BS Cato numbers. Why? Because they have been proven to be nothing but lies. The number of people in poverty (4.8 million) and the poverty rate (15.8 percent). Screw that, 4.8 million lazy welfare breeders ain't enough. There's 46 million below the poverty line or 1 in 7. That's more like it, but wait, 47 million collect an average of monthly benefit of $133.44 in food stamps. Trebek, 38 million people? What is the population of California?
The conclusion of this insane rant in Part 2
