People Who Don't Pay Taxes Shouldn't Be Allowed To Vote.
Why should people who don't pay taxes be allowed to vote? They're not contributing members of society and are usually a net negative because they are on some kind of welfare and, therefore, are a drag on the economy. They should only be able to vote if the pay something to the state, local or federal government. Fair is fair, we don't want any deadbeats in the voting booths.
The parasitic filth who leech off the revenue generated by hardworking taxpayers, the corporation tax from industrial establishments and commercial activities should be officially classified as second class citizens and be denied certain privileges including the right to vote.
Those unemployed who feel their inclusion in this category is unfair should be made to prove that they have actively sought to gain employment and are continuing to do so.
The old adage, HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER, CALLS THE TUNE should be applied to the voting structure with a sliding scale of vote allocations.
Those in the top tax bracket should be allotted multiple votes with voting entitlements decreasing in proportion with the amount of tax paid.
This would scupper the Democrat's treasonous agenda of flooding the nation with low life of left-wing voting criminal wasters.
Agreed. No pay, no play. The rich are far more wiser than the poor, that's why they're rich, and should be the ones determining the course of our great country. Stop and think about it: do you want a high school dropout who works at Walmart deciding the fate of our country? That's one BIG HELL to the no for me.
Prove they arent informed then. And prove rich people are informed.
Your obnoxious frat kids may be informed. Yet in what? In what is/should be to ensure they keep going with their comfortable, disconnected-from-reality lives?
Why are you surprised at what I wrote? or are you yourself part of that club?
And yes, just travel the world (and please, no yatching or instagram style traveling please, this isnt traveling): observe people. With time, you can guess the nationality, the earning, political views and job of someone without even speaking to that person. Just by observing him/her.
such assumption is in perfect alignment with the rest of your contribution here...
I certainly enjoy learning from people who make good points. I have much respect for high quality argument I can learn from or ponder on.
I just have not by yours...
I mean, who can be convinced by your way of thinking other than some insecure wannabe who aligns respect to possessions because that's all they have and think they should deserve more power/respect/attention than others?
I shall only be impressed by morals and wisdom: this does impose respect.
Just to precise: since you seem to believe that money is the mark of the "best", i dont consider myself being better than anyone. Yet, I may be as rich or richer than you are, in my own right and effort. I have no heritage money, everything comes from my mind and my creativity. And so what? is that enough to believe I am better than anyone else, let alone someone poor?
Ah, the little people- they just don't know their place. You just can't accept the fact that the richer, more accomplished are better than the poorer, non-contributing members of society. You can deny reality, but reality will always prevail.
If I'm richer, more accomplished, better than you who contribute to making this world such a nasty place, well grounded in the reality of my own life but also in the life of 99.99% of mankind, the poor AND the filthy rich, then, where is my place? It cannot be with you, this I'm sure.
No goodness can come from such a little mind, little soul, little heart.
Congratulations on finding yourself in the point one percent of Create Debate users who are mentally stable, intelligent and rational. It's a very small club.
Trying to make poor people feel guilty about being poor is not a contribution to society you useless, delusional little prick. Look around you, dickhead. The total absence of people who love or even like you shows you the type of contribution you've made, you worthless sack of filth.
They are alredy in charge of it and have been for way too long. HOw can this magnificient earth and societies end up like they have if indeed rich people had decided well? How could they have done anything right when the world had been sustained in great harmony by "uncivilized" nations for thousands of years until "the rich-who-think-they-are-smart-and-deserving" came to f--- everything up?
Just by greed. They can take their contributions.
I just cannot believe how some people are still blind and deaf to the realities of the world when they are the only ones who create the monstruous problems humanity has to face.
ps: yes, I see farer than just my own little country. The USA arent the world or earth, wake up!
They are alredy in charge of it and have been for way too long. HOw can this magnificient earth and societies end up like they have if indeed rich people had decided well?
You should ignore HF. He's a disgusting little pedo who confuses greed with intelligence.
Ah, hello there Human Filth. Nice to see you are still dragging the species backwards by 300 years every time you open your uselessly stupid mouth. Why don't you give me your address so I can come over and have a discussion with you, you worthless fucking pedophile?
and people who set schemes up to decrease their taxes (pretty much all the rich people) should then have their vote count less than a regular person who pays what he owes without cheating the system.
There are many who don't pay taxes who then go out and INFLUENCE the vote! This is what shouldn't be allowed! Many of these are in the "Fortune 500"!
Sure, they SAY they pay taxes, but if they do it's like the government saying "Hey, mister, (or Ms), can you spare a dime?" (Or maybe, go to the SCOTUS and REALLY "invest" in some influence, hmmm?) (I mean RATHER than pay taxes ;-)
you're thinking exactly like an upper class man of the victorian era (no votes for women nor anybody else but white males because the formers "werent" making any "contribution").
If you go down that road, before preventing welfare beneficiaries from voting, prevent those who dont pay their fines, or those who dont bow down to consumerism since they dont pay/pay less VAT (since vat includes federal and state taxes).
At the end of the day, it doesnt matter who vote. The president is elected by some very few.
No, I think if you don't contribute, you shouldn't have any sayso at the voting booth. All those people are gonna do is vote for the one who promises them the most free stuff. No thanks. Giving people free stuff only makes them more dependent.
well how then are presidential campaign going to be financed? Dont rich people finance the presidential candidates in order to benefit directly from their future laws/decisions? This is happening and always has. So they too are getting "free stuff" in exchange for their vote and support.
by the way, the richer, the less they pay taxes. Look at how much those filthy rich are paying in taxes.
People Who Don't Pay Taxes Shouldn't Be Allowed To Vote.
Yet you said this African American "But, if I pay property tax, sales tax, gas tax, payroll tax, and the myriad of other taxes and fees we pay daily, I SHOULDN'T be allowed to vote??
The Center for American Progress is a public policy research and advocacy organization which presents a liberal viewpoint on economic and social issues. It has its headquarters in Washington, D.C.
WOW you are a dead giveaway !
So The Center for American Progress is not profiting there DUDE !
Does that sand feel warm and fuzzy around your head ????????? BWAHAHAHA
Paying taxes is a result of productivity. The more productive you are, the more you pay. Why should the less/non contributing have much if any input on election day?
The more "productive" in what? Then, the more productive in spoiling this earth and society should have to pay an additionnal tax which normal people, who dont take lthe decisions, shouldnt have to. That is your logic right?
