You know, I'm pretty sure "the planet" includes places other than the United States. (Except in professional baseball)I'm very concerned about this horrible genocide apparently being committed in Finland.

This seems like a strategy that wouldn't work well in the long run. The first thing all those republicans would do with their complete control over the government would be to get rid of any programs that might help anyone - but then we'd all be cut off from any "entitlements", so we'd get our voting rights back. Wouldn't we just throw them all back out at the next opportunity? Or would too many of us have starved to death first?

I really wish we had a document that codifies people's right to vote in this country. We really should get on that. *headdesk*

No, they'd just move the goal posts to "anyone who ever used entitlements" can't vote. Or maybe something about grandfathers...

So to prevent a conflict of interest if a reduction in taxes is the platform of a party then taxpayers should not be allowed to vote either.

Who should YOU put your hard-earned money on this year. Let's look at the numbers. Female Democrats are an astounding 41 and 2 in Presidential elections after eight years of economic expansion during a Democratic administration after a disastrous Republican President named Bush. Bet Clinton, and lay the 5%. And if I'm wrong, I'll clean Donald Trump's jizz off my own wife's back!

or the Milo Minderbinder plan- more money= more votes. granted, it works that way now. indirectly, but make it explicit and voila! the Permanent Republican Majority (or Thousand Year Reich) that KKKarl Rove dreamed of

here we see the upside of the Drumpf scampaign; it lures all the monsters out of the shadows so we know who they are. it gets them to speak out, frankly and publicly stating their abhorrent anti-American "ideas", which is making it harder and harder for the Village to "normalize" them.

Well, yeah, but he said he bought her so I don't think she has to acknowledge him any more.

my gratitude is somewhat tempered by loathing and revulsion.

What about government employees and elected officials? They get their sweet paychecks off the backs of taxpayers and insurance benefits from the government, so clearly they shouldn't vote either.
