sons people should not be allowed to vote IF ...

[BRHornet45]

- if they are unemployed

- if they are living off of the government via welfare, housing, etc.

- if they make LESS than $10,000 per year.

After all sons. what are these people doing for the country anyways other than living off of other peoples tax dollars??? cause God knows 95% of them will vote for Democrats to give them MORE irresponsibility ... if they even vote at all. amen. thanks sons god bless.

Why make the floor $10,000? I mean, it's abundantly clear that the people who are most responsible in this country are those who make the most money and, undoubtedly, those people should have the most say about who will be President. Why not make it a $50,000 threshold, or better yet, only allow voting by those who make $100,000 a year!!

Plus, I think the unemployed thing sweeps too broadly -- it would be silly to deny the vote to rich people who are unemployed!!!

son your missing the point. people who make less than $10,000 a year (who "work" full time ala not college students, etc.) contribute next to nothing to society. why should their opinion count whenever they pay what? $200 a year in taxes? oh and when I say the "unemployed" I mean the people who fall into the "living off of the government" category.

So contributions to society are only measured in terms of how much someone pays in taxes? Why on Earth would anyone oppose a tax increase then, since paying more taxes would demonstrate a greater contribution to society!!

Every American of voting age has the right to vote. Income or educational level does not place any more weight on a vote. My vote counts the same as Warren Buffett's.
Go USA!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Actually, there's brilliance in this idea from the standpoint of social policy, too. Obviously, those who don't work but carry substantial tax burdens -- say the stay-at-home spouses of highly-paid executives -- should be allowed to vote under this plan. So combined incomes are sufficient to give one the right to vote. Thus, imposing the $10,000 threshold would encourage those who make very little money to get married to one another and aggregate their meager incomes to obtain the right to vote -- lessen they're homosexuals or something, of course.

It's social brilliance.

I wouldn't actually want it just like BR explained, but I have advocated a similar thing myself. I don't know exactly where to make the cutoffs, but maybe something like the following:

1) To be eligeble to vote, you cannot be one who gets subsidies from the various government agencies over the last two years that exceed what income taxes you pay over the same period.

2) Social Security and other retirement related entitlements are not considered subsidies for voting purposes. Social Security will actually be treated as income for voting elegibility.

3) The right to vote will not be denied to the handicapped under this provision.

4) Non tax paying citizens have the right to vote as long as they are not being subsidized by the government.

5) Paymnts of Social Security and Medicare deductions are not considered taxes for these rules as they are for future benifits.

My thoughts on the subject are simply to exclude those who chose government handouts over paying their own way from voting. The rules I would support would be to those means.

Do bailed out Wall Street executives get treated as having been subsidized by the government?

A loan is not a subsidy. A grant is. My whole point is that we have voters who have a financial stake in who they put in office over those who want to take from the government. I would be open to school grant recipiants voting. But not those who are chonically on welfare type programs.

What I gave was a very basic outline. Take my purpose over any specific numbered item because the list of exceptions and reasons to deny voting would end up being rather long.

A significant portion of student loans are federally-subsidized. Since you're such a stickler for the meaning of words, I figured when you said subsidies you meant subsidies, which would include federally-subsidized student loans. If you aggregate the amount of subsidized student loan debt that many young professionals have and compare it with their average tax burdens, it becomes fairly obvious that young professionals and others who must borrow money to attend college are simply not welcome to vote in your America.

[Wild Cobra]

How much do soldiers make in a year?
Well, here is the pay chart effective January 2006:

Military Pay Charts (http://www.militaryconnection.com/charts.asp)

I don't know if they got a pay raise for 2007 and 2008. Probably not with the democrats running congress. Annually, it varies allot. If you figure a new recruit at E2 pay for 1 year, living in the barracks, no family, figure $17,128.80 plus clothing alloance, free food, free living accomodations. Not a bad pay for having all your basic living expenses paid for. It is all, after tax, your money to do as you please. Soldiers with dependance and/or who live off base get paid more.

I left with 11 years of service as an E-5 when I left in 1992, my base pay was $1430 monthly if I remember right. Today, it would be $2496.60 by the 2006 chart. Base pay is all that military personel pay taxes on. Housing allowence would probably be about $1200 here I live with COLA, Separate Rations $272.35, clothing allowence probably about $25.

hard to say, but when I left in 1992, I figured I needed a job that paid just over $18 per hour to have the same net pay after taxes. It took me a few years before I was making more after tax money than I did in the service.

I don't know all the nuances involved in a student loan being backed by the govornment, but what little subsidy is involved, is in the reduction of the interest rate, and insuring it. Am I right or wrong? The money is expected to be paid back with interest, right?

You get tired of people testing your beliefs, particularly when what you propose is decidedly unconstitutional (though I suppose that you're favoring an amendment that would specifically spell out what qualifies someone to vote) and strikes me as unnecessarily (and unfairly) discriminatory?

It seems to me that one way to test your position is to question it by citing to an example that would seem distasteful to you. And here, I've done that by using your specific words -- here, "subsidy." You said very specifically that:

"To be eligeble to vote, you cannot be one who gets subsidies from the various government agencies over the last two years that exceed what income taxes you pay over the same period."

You made no distinction about which subsidies would qualify, you said subsidies. My point has been that student loans are federally subsidized and, thus, would fall within your definition concerning voting eligibility. If you misstated what you meant -- if you meant to exclude student loans from your definition -- then correct your statement.

Of course, the problem with doing that is that you're no longer painting with the broad brush that saves you from the socio-political ramifications of your position.


You say all this after I specifically say how I feel about these things. Besides, not all loans are subsidized.

Not all loans are subsidized, true. But many are. And many people who do quite well in this country have subsidized student loan debt that exceeds their tax burdens. Now, I'll grant you that the "within two years" part of your definition might actually save student loans in some instances from disqualifying an individual to vote, but there's no doubt that most students who are within 2 years of graduation will have benefitted from substantial subsidies while not having paid much if any taxes. It seems clear to me that based on your own stated definition (without revision) you're disqualifying those people from voting.

I also wonder how far down the political food chain your prohibition goes. Should those who don't meet your economic criteria be precluded from voting on local races or initiatives that don't have anything to do with economics?


Do you think you are smart by assigning what I mean rather than ask?

Again, just using your words -- if you meant something different, then say it that way.


I find that really stupid. In fact, if I were an employer, people who made business decisions like what you just illistrated would be history. Is that how you think at your job? If so, I feel sorry for your employer.

I'll pass your concerns for my discourse up the food chain.

Yes, a constitutional amendment is necessary to satisfy the 'poll tax' clause.

I do tire of my beliefs being tested when it is done in such manners. I tire of people taking the extreme on what I don't specify, and otherwise do their best to make me look bad. I tire of people purposely assuming things that don't exist in my words. I tire of being told what I believe rather than being asked to elaborate, especially when the person doing so is wrong.

Keep in mind, in an earlier posting I said this:



What I gave was a very basic outline. Take my purpose over any specific numbered item because the list of exceptions and reasons to deny voting would end up being rather long.

I simply do not believe people should vote who do not try to contribute to our nation and society. I do not want people to vote who elect politicians who redistribute wealth. It's nothing but legal thievery.

The average 18 year old when the Constitution was written was more than likely out on their own, making their own way - an adult. That is not the case now. I know, at 18, I was pretty ignorant, and very unwise. My political views changed with who my favorite professor was at the time (semester to semester).

Of course, maybe a dose of youthful idealism is a good thing in the electorate.

Does that mean at 18 someone can't be tried as an adult, because they're not yet responsible enough to be one? No more 18 year-olds going to war since they're still just kids who can be easily exploited?

Especially when it's really not much of a point at all.

Give her a break. She's known who Sarah Palin is for three years.

I said "many", not "all".

Just thoughts.

We were talking specifically about voting. If an 18 year old behaves like an adult; they could vote. Could use whether they are declared as a dependent on their daddy's tax return as a litmus test. Yes, that could mean older people not voting, as well.

Again, just for discussion's sake. This is just academic.

I'm sure there's a video out there of Obama supporters being stupid as well. Videos like these are useless, specially when made by a jackass who's only agenda is to ridicule the people he is interviewing. When are people going to realize that it is far more effective to let people ridicule themselves than to try and force the issue. The dude should have just asked a couple of questions and let the people answer them without his idiotic interruptions. I'm willing to bet he would have come out with much better footage.

It's called hanging them with their own words. He didn't put a gun to their heads and make them say "Obama is a terrorist" or "Obama associates with terorrists" or "He has the bloodlines" to be associated with terrorists.

I like that one dude who says that from ages 1 to 6 Obama was immersed in radical Islam. I'm pretty sure that at the time, Obama was playing with his toys in a sandbox.

Daughters, you're just embarrassed because there is not a qualitative difference between what you spew here and what's on that video. God bless daughter.

wrong, hanging them with their own words would have been him asking the questions and actually letting them answer them without the constant "DO you think he's a terrorist? Do you??" bullshit. His obvious attempts at making these people look stupid detracted from the very nice job they were doing at it themselves. Far more effective to actually let people "hang themselves with their own words" than to try and force the issue.

God bless you daughter. Do you agree with the views expressed in the video? Of course you do. At the end of the day, you're small and it sucks to be you, and you know it.

If they don't want to look stupid, then they could've said "No, I don't think he's a terrorist," or "No, I don't think he pals around with terrorists, I simply don't agree with his policy positions and think McCain would make a better president."

Don't blame the messenger for letting these people expose themselves for the fools that they are.

I'm saying that for an attempt at painting McCain/Palin supporters as idiots, the video was poorly executed. I'm saying it would have been much more effective if he'd just let them answer like idiots instead of trying to force the subject.

Of course, I do hope you realize this video is just that, an attempt at painting the whole McCain/Palin base as being ignorant and stupid. I often wonder who's dumber, the people being depicted in this video, or the people that actually believe them to be representative of McCain's entire base... something to ponder.

He did let them answer like idiots, and he made it look easy.
