I paid $830,000 in personal income taxes last year. Don't fucking talk to me about paying my "fair share"

Re: Only People that pay income tax should be allowed to vote..
Anyone who has the government pay all their bills via welfare, should lose the right to vote.

I'm sick of people living off the government and then voting for people who promise them more free stuff.

The country would fix itself real fast if the right to vote
was given only to those paying taxes and not recieving benefits.


I would only make exception for elderly and veterans

Re: Only People that pay income tax should be allowed to vote..
I agree. why should someone who doesn't pay a dime have the same say as me (who gets hit for about $350 a week in taxes? Obviously they aren't going to give a damn about any kind of political issues/policies that don't involve more free money in their pockets... I know there are many who pay way more than me though, so I realise my logic is flawed when I pay a mere fraction of what many others pay yet are afforded the same number of votes than I.

Everybody pays sales tax. Everyone employed pays payroll tax. Renters pay property taxes indirectly. Having no income tax liability does not mean one is on welfare. This neocon talking point myth needs to go.

As if that were only tax paid. Get real. Not all decisions are based on money. So if you happen to be disabled you shouldn't be able to vote even though you paid in for years?

Hey sheeple, allow me to enlighten.

You dont really own anything, its an illusory machination..

because there are entities above you in that deed your holdin'...

you cant even know what is your government, because your not represented..

they nod with blank stares because theres no dollars behind your lamentations...

Why do you think politicians spend millions for a 2 day hotel stay..

Snorting coke banging hookers waiting to get paid..

By the same corporate elite that own both parties..

They the same ones that own your government and pay no taxes...

Because theres no value in the money; only the attribution of value via psychological conclusions..

that you've been well trained to assign -by those who create nothin' but the illusion

and taxes are tribute payment to international banking cartels..

who control secret societies that carry out the dirty work to get their initiatives through congress

bernake himself said there should be no national debt ceiling..

not much fiscal responsibility up there in washington

Re: Only People that pay income tax should be allowed to vote..
There are other taxes...

However.. If there should be no taxation without representation...

then it follows...

No representation if no taxes.

As Bummer says... You need skin in the game and those illegals on the dole do not have any stakes. Neither do they pay income taxes for the most part. But they milk the trough quite empty.

Re: Only People that pay income tax should be allowed to vote..
The problem is that the vote was originally set up so that only land owners could vote (look it up) but that was not 'fair' to the burgeoning urban dwellers who needed a voice to clean out the corruption in the larger urban area's political enclaves.

A return to that system would likely mean even more corruption. Does anyone really think we neeed more of that?

But while we're doing all this wishful thinking, why not just make it illegal for anyone who enacts laws to allow themselves a waiver from being accountable under that law?

So the elderly who worked for years and now live on a Social Security Income in their retirement should not be allowed to vote... seeing as they don't have to pay federal income taxes?

...seriously?

wtf
 Quoting: wynter sol


Don't be silly. They paid their dues. Someone always looks for a straw to cling to.


And anyway. There is an income tax on social security.

Illegals and non-citizens should NEVER be allowed to vote in the affairs of citizens. That is outsiders/ foreigners interfering with our government.

Voting age should be moved up to 25!

How many taxes have you paid when your 18?

In my case allot because I went to work by 14 , but for most they just vote for who ever seems cool..............

Turn some real money paychecks ! Then you can vote at 25!

Re: Only People that pay income tax should be allowed to vote..
Anyone that has a job through a government contract should not be allowed to vote. I see this job as a bribe by the government.

So if you work for any schools, police,fire,military anything. No voting.

If you contract that means if you build for the government and your employees work on that jobsite. No vote.

If you do any government work of ANY KIND. You don't get a vote. The government took money from us to bribe you for your vote.

What does it matter who and who doesn't vote?

Your vote doesn't count anyway. Whomever the PTB want in office is who is going to be put into office. Thats the way it works.

The system is fixed so that the ones at the top will remain at the top.
