Kill the poor. Use the savings to increase corporate welfare. I would suggest more money for green energy.

Amen, Hallelujah & pass the ammunition.

Anyone receiving ANY form of public assistance should be ineligible to vote.

But that will never happen, because the politicians on both "sides" will never allow it. They need people to need them.

Reminds me of a Cheap Trick song...

Does that include deducting mortgage interest from Federal taxes?

On one hand, we have a deduction against taxes due on earned income.
On the other, we have handouts to those that don't work.

I often confuse the two myself...

How about making the right to vote not automatic, or even making citizenship not automatic but earned? I'm not advocating this position, but I'm wondering what the up and downsides would be.

They're prolly included in "anyone". But your the politics, socio-economics, English, tobacco, morals, and section 8 expert.

So I defer.

No, no, no. You want to kill them...Victor wants to use them for food. I'm appalled at this. They should be used for medical experiments. Then skinned and turned into durable leather goods. Waste not...want not.

The easiest thing to do is go back to the way it was originally...

Only Land owners can vote....

Luckily for them that's a rhetorical question, because with corporations are people and money is free speech rulings from the Supreme Court, sponsored through the generous contributions of Exxon Mobil and not so much by viewers like you, and gerrymandering of congressional districts, the vast majority of incumbents of any stripe will be bought, owned and have their pervasive propaganda campaigns funded by corporate entities whose interests are only aligned to those of the citizenry to the extent they can extract cash from them until that source is sucked dry and they can move on to lower cost, prison labor based, 3rd world labor sources. little realizing that once they've managed to concentrate wealth into the greedy paws of the few that there won't be enough actual productive, industrially based economic activity to create the wealth they parasitically steal through finance sector shell games, that have become legal theft through legislative actions that are the return on their investments in the purchase of those same politicians.

It's a perpetual motion machine until the money source, an actual economy based on producing things of value to people who have the money to buy them, dries up. But not to worry as we enter the phase of the global economy where the average worker is reduced to buying overpriced shovels at the company store, it will take a few decades to get to the point where none of them can even afford to buy that shovel to dig their own graves.

But really, no, look, it's people on food stamps that are the real problem...Sarcasm
