Voter suppression is a good idea

“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.

    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.

    Including a spouse that doesn't work is moving the goalposts. Might as well include dependents at that point.

    Just because the spouse doesn’t work doesn’t mean they aren’t a net taxpayer, even when my kids were younger and my wife didn’t work we as a couple were still net payers of taxes. My wife was just as responsible for our tax bill as I was, her name was on the return and her name is on the property tax bill.

    No moving of the goal posts

    Really? So if I don't write the check for the property taxes or to the IRS they won't come after my wife as well as myself?

    So I can just put everything in my wife's name and stop paying taxes. Cool.

    Being held liable doesn't mean she's paying taxes. I could cosign a loan for you to buy a car and be held liable. Doesn't mean I'm paying off your car.

    Being held liable means you're financial responsible for that debt if the other person stops payment. Does your wife know she doesn't really own your house, that only you do?

    Do you just want to just the caveat that non-working spouses can vote under your regime?

    No, because if the family are still net tax consumers I don't want the non-working, or working spouse for that matter to vote.

    Skin in the game. The non-working wife who's husband still pays all the bills making them net taxpayers has skin in the game.

    Let's just compromise and give her 3/5 vote.

    Are we could just go back to pre-19th Amendment days. If we did that and restricted the vote to net taxpayers, the Rats couldn't win a single statewide election.

    I think we can all agree that things went down hill when they got the vote

    I don't see any reason to make it easy for stupid or lazy people to vote

    If that's your base that's your problem not mine

    Oh I know, the Rats have made an art form out of getting the votes of people who pay little if any taxes while demanding all kinds of "free" shit. The takers far, far out number the makers and the Rats have a hammer lock on that vote.

    They want to steal my labor from me. I don't want anything from them. If they want to vote they can either join the military or start being a net tax payer.
