oh absolutely
I was also wondering... If Trump were to somehow be successful in preventing enough states from certifying their votes this year to kick the decision to the House of Reps, what would prevent the candidate who's party had more than 26 majority delegations from using that tactic every election? And would the courts - especially SCOTUS - possibly take that potential outcome into consideration when ruling on any cases this year?
I'm more perturbed by the people who pay no taxes voting. I know that is not a popular opinion.
the number of people that are actually net contributors to the budget is a scarily low portion of the population
Thanks!
@RobertGrulerEsq it matches with the opinion of the framers of the constitution
Yes... also, 2-factor authentication. I was thinking.
Well, remember us old guys on Soc Sec used to pay taxes on it. But Clinton cut the size and cost of govt. in part by mandating Soc. Sec. reduction by cost of the taxes. And then fired all the accountants that used to keep track of it.
@TaLoN132 its electoral vote first, then a contingent election in the house under the 12th amendment
That seems like a weird position to have while advocating for no taxes.
So anyone over 65 would not get to vote since they are in retierment?
@Jorgen Johnson, you just advanced to level 1!
I would prefer that Sydney prove that 30% of the vote for Biden was fraudulent.
Understood... Some are suggesting that Trump's aim is to keep filing court cases preventing states from certifying, so Biden can't reach 270 electoral votes.
They wouldn't get to vote on new taxes that they don't have to pay!
Hahaha fair
Js
I get it
It's not a realistic argument
But it feels good to say it.
if you dont have a stake you shouldnt get to make decisions
Yes, skin in the game.
you should read starship troopers
@Jorgen Johnson points out the rub, though
lol
@RobertGrulerEsq However, while we don't pay taxes, our Soc Sec is supposed to be reduced by the amount of taxes we would have had to pay.
the way the government is run in that book is interesting
I've seen the movie
the book is actually a bit more intellectual
BRCC last broadcast I saw they were outlining how they would do a comedy movie about what govt would be like if they were in charge.
Yes @Whithers I heard from some financial people that they may want people to pay taxes on the PPP loan, that was given to people, in the amount that it was forgiven.
Like with student loans. If suddenly $50k is discharged /forgiven, you are paying taxes on that gift, in all likelihood.
well you normally have to pay taxes on forgiven debt i believe
@ImNotGas, you just advanced to level 4!
Some of that was deferred and some wasn't. I was not affected so I didn't track it much.
Yes but they didn't force your business closed, is the difference.
true
I have agreed with Shapiro that the govt. owes comp. because it took people's right to work away.
@RobertGrulerEsq would you agree with the opposite? Illigal immigrants that pay taxes get to vote?
Illegal immagrants should be removed. So, no, paying taxes is not sufficient.
