    None of which supports your absurd assumptive assertion.

    As well, you can find a far more definitive description of fascism if you read Mussolini's "What Is Fascism" from 1932. Which, BTW also does not support your assumptive assertion.

    If on welfare you get one vote if not on welfare two votes. That way everyone can still vote but the moochers cannot outvote the producers. Problem solved.

    Not true. I recognize that its impossible to have a system that in any way tries to find ways to give some people more power, and others less. I recognize that such a system would lead to a permanent class system. In other words, I think your idea sucks.

    So you admit that you were making a strawman argument in the first place?

    Weird.

    Another budding fascist enters the fray.

    Here's a great idea - only employ people that vote for your party, then those unemployed moocher dems and independents cannot vote.

    Great idea of democracy you have (not)

    Let me get this straight, asking someone to show an ID when they vote to prevent voter fraud is discriminating against black men, according to your quote above? Are you saying that blacks are too stupid to obtain an ID? Sounds kind of racist to me...

    If an ID is required to exercise a citizen right, it shall be provided by the state. Any COST or stalling tactics associated with Voter IDs is a DIRECT violation of the 24th Amendment.

    This was already fought in court. The Amendment existed to PREVENT Southern States from disenfranchising black voters through poll taxes / fees and literacy tests. Coincidence?

    Anyone who is 18 and buys things, pays taxes.
    The solution is to get economy going so there are more jobs. And the makers are the workers.

    But you must be a landowner. Else you really have no interest in how the country operates.

    Ahhh, I see. Well put, thought out argument. The people I enjoy debating the most are the ones who know enough about what they believe to provide me with a real challenge, and sometimes I learn something in the process, which is even better. Well done my friend, see you next round.

    Hell, everyone pays taxes, even the undocumented though I'm not sure they should be given the vote.

    The undocumented aren't citizens.

    Here is the context:

    is that just your opinion, or is this assertion supposed to reflect a fact? a little bit of evidence to this claim wud be nice; i mean, what u r saying is basically that more then half of the population able to work chooses not to...
    are not a lot of people in the US working several jobs to make ends meet? why wud they do that if they cud just take the money?
    seems to me the propaganda has gotten to your head...

    Only the makers and not the takers, huh?

    I suppose giving exclusive rights to the Chinese to vote in the US might shake things up a little.

    (My bold)

    That varies from state to state. Each state has its own process to re-enfranchise an ex-felon. Some places it's automatic, some places you have to apply, some places it never happens.

    I am talking about those still in jail - they should also be allowed to vote.

    and how the hell can an ex-felon not be allowed to vote, what is the logic there? - that's fascist actually

    When we have a government asleep at the wheel this what you get. No, only taxpayers should not vote. If that is the case only white folks should be able to live!!!!
