“And then they remind me that there’s a lot of liberal folks in those other schools who maybe we don’t want to vote,” Hyde-Smith can be heard telling a small crowd of young people outside her campaign bus in a video taken Nov. 3 and posted on online Thursday. “Maybe we want to make it just a little more difficult. And I think that’s a great idea.”

    I believe she was joking when she said that. But even if she was, that’s a really stupid thing to say. In 2018, how does someone not realize everything said publicly will be scrutinized?

    I'd like to limit voting to only the people that are net payers of taxes and no government employees outside of members of the military should be allowed to vote. Clear conflict of interests.

    Hondo drinking a gallon of bleach is a better idea

    That only takes care of a single teat sucking parasite, I'd like to create a way to address them all.

    Getting rid of retiree and housewife votes should do wonders for the GOP.

    Housewives are most likely married filing jointly. Unless they married Hondo, they are net taxpayers. Many retirees are still net taxpayers.

    The ability to vote people into power who would actually cut entitlement programs would be greatly enhanced.

    Since we're moving the goalpost that much, let's let anyone that pays sales, property, excise, vehicle, and gas tax vote too.

    How did I move the goal posts? I never limited it to net payer of income taxes. I just said net payers of taxes. You pay more than you take you get to vote, you take more than you pay, no vote for you.
