I am sick and tired of the bums deciding on the future of this country. If you can remember the Gore v bush election. Gore was buying bums smokes to obtain there vote. Not to mention the illegals that are trying to obtain what we worked for like our social security, our medical our homes and our food. We spend in the year 07 336 billion on illegals benifits. We spent 275 billion on the War. ( according to Time Magazine)
One of the founding principles which gave birth to this nation was the settelers wanting to be
represented to have a vote. "No taxation without representation." became an anthem for the nation.
I believe the reverse applies if you are not willing to support the nation then you should have
no say in how it is operated.
It is definately a conflict of interest situation. Who would vote for someone that is talking fiscal
responsibility? Not someone who's living depends on governmental giving.
I also believe that Since they don't pay income/or property tax they should never be allowed to
vote. I don't know about you but I am against anyman that can work but wont. To me that man is a
cancer on society. I know in other countries like in Israel if a man doesn't work but has the
ability to work he is thrown into jail. I am really tired of these illegal aliens telling us what
is right. I am also tired of them telling us if we don't speak their language then we can't obtain
jobs. That is bunk. My mother can't obtain work where we live because she isn't bilingual. (
which where we are from is spanish and english) I am a patriot. There is no room for nothing but
100% american---Teddy Roosevelt. I am also tired of them bringing there corrupt doctrine over here
and ruining our land. This land was founded on the bible but the illegals get their people in
congress and tell us that the 10 commandments are outlawed. To me If you aint christian then you
aren't american! (my opinion)
Agree, and add one more criteria...If you receive govt welfare aid, you shouldn't be allowed to
vote. Maybe that would encourage people to actually gte a job.
The government's decisions affect everyone, so everyone who can be trusted to vote (ie not children)
should be allowed to. This proposal would just disenfranchise the poor even though they are part of
society too.
As for voting by self-interest, why do you assume it is limited to the poor. I could make the
argument that those who pay taxes shouldn't be allowed to vote, because they'll just vote to lower
taxes every time. That's obviously ridiculous, and so is this suggestion.
Quince- This is crazy reasoning on your part. It IS their money. Voting to protect something you already own is a lot more understandable than voting to get something someone else owns.
No not at all, people who have a right to vote should be made to vote, as they are in Australia.
Then the right policies will be adopted. A bum might take the ciggie but he would probably vote the
other way if push comes to shove.
