i don't think you should be allowed to vote unless you file a tax return every year


I don't think you should be allowed to vote if you aren't a net taxpayer. So no voting for fed or state employees. Active military...

Ya.  The guys who sign up to defend your right to free speech and 2A shouldn't be allowed to vote.

They should only be allowed to put a boot on your throat and shoot your dog.

Don't see how someone could assert the gov workers or .mil don't pay their share.

It's a liberal style of discussion. Make wild, untrue statements with no logic or substance in order to attempt to couch the discussion as unreasonable.

Works fine for the uneducated, uninformed masses which is why they shouldn't be allowed a vote.

You want a revolution? Restricting the vote is a good way to get a revolution. Broadening the vote, on the other hand, has acted as a safety valve and allowed the system to reform without being destroyed.

Lol...coming from a socialist....letting retards and FSA shitbags vote sure has done wonders for the electorate.

Bottom line...if people can enthusiastically vote for a person like Hillary, who has to be the crookedest, lyingest, evilest person ever to run for president...they should not be allowed to vote. They are too stupid to vote.

It actually is very interesting. Once she takes power they will flood the country with immigrants and refugees that push the percentage who reliably vote D far past the 50? mark. I honestly believe the country is lost. At least the idea of self reliant freedom loving citizens who prefer a small government presence.

Our founders never intended voting to be a universal right.

It was intended and written into the constitution to be an earned privilege.

They knew a constituency with no skin in the game would destroy the country.

They knew a voter base full of uneducated, uninformed people will vote for leaders who are unfit.

Those with nothing to lose and no interest at stake would vote away rights, liberty, at the promise for a hand out.

And here we are. The blue smoke is out of the box and there's no way to put it back in. And the number of voters with no skin in the game out number those who do, or soon will.

I don't disagree with OP.



That said - the rape of liberty due to the abuse of the commerce clause is just as culpable.



Much of our oppression is now, and promises to be, Federal; either directly in law and agency or through purse string manipulations to the states.



If Fed were properly constrained within their constitutional bounds, we'd have 50 fiefdoms to wage ideological war in - and the more local the battle the better I think we would do.



Yet even if some or many states went liberal - there would still be refuge to be found in conservative strongholds.  



But when all law is Federal law, there is no place to go if you disagree.



The "blue smoke" could be put back in the box if our States ever rediscovered their proper role and forced the Fed back into their constitutional boundaries.

For those who have earned the right to vote to allow those who haven't contributed to stay here for free is a generous gift. That they have no say in government  doesn't force them to stay.

I'm going to quote myself because this post was kind of an eye opener for me.

I've often been confronted with badfish's statement and had wrestled with it.

As I was writing my response it became very clear what the truth of the matter is.

It is not tyranny for voting to be earned. Those with no vote are not forced to live under laws they had no say in.

It actually is a gift to even allow them to live here and be cared for. They should be grateful for that.

You re obviously missing the point.

It's not "whatever reason". It is no input = no say.

And "cared for" means taking from the gov i.e. other citizens.

No, its "whatever reason."  Define input.  Money?  Labor?  Your children?  The answer is "whatever reason."

Quoted:
Don't see how someone could assert the gov workers or .mil don't pay their share.

It's a liberal style of discussion. Make wild, untrue statements with no logic or substance in order to attempt to couch the discussion as unreasonable.

Works fine for the uneducated, uninformed masses which is why they shouldn't be allowed a vote.

Didn't think you would be that bad at math. They don't pay their fair share because they don't add anything to the bottom line. Mathematically impossible.

  Correct, they viewed half the civilian population as sub-citizens who didn't deserve civil rights because of skin color, or a vagina.


Clearly, folks who had a DEEP, PROFOUND respect for individual liberty.


Myself? I'd rather see the nation face plant having freedom than prosper forever in a nation filled with subjects who have no say.



Lots of people want the trains to run on time, tho, but luckily you lost that fight a long time ago. Live with it. We're never going back.

If you were a member of a gun club but paid no dues while all other members paid 500 dollars a year, should you get to vote on what is being served at the fall picnic?

Have a say on what matches are ran or who the club officers should be?


Can the gun club throw me in jail and take away my property?


you are free to leave.


From my home?  The hell I am.

Citizenship isn't a damn gun club.
