If more than half of the voting age population doesn't vote, then how can any government claim consent. If the majority do not vote, the only the majority can rule is if noone holds the office that the election was to fill. Discuss |

But seriously this article shows that there is common ground across the board on this issue with the people, even half of your hated "liberals" agree its fucked. Assuming polling means jack shit this is a positive sign. |

Quoting: HossageI do not think this is a surprise at all, when you are poor you get fucked around the most by the local and federal government. When you are poor you are on a cliff.. Often times all it takes is the governent to fuck with you (fines, taxes etc..) and you will fall right off. Partisan dicks that think getting welfare means you are living fat and have not worries or stress are not in touch with reality. |

There are so many variables its simply childish to brand the entire thing and everyone as freeloaders. I mean when you are getting on the fucking bus at 5am to be at work my 8am and playing the same games to get home you are working 12-14 for ass wages and hardly scraping buy so you need a bit of help buying some fucking food... That does not make you a god damn freeloader. Are there abuses in the system? YES. But they are not as high in volume as you would like to believe. Fuck man.... not everyone can make 75k a year, why is that hard for you to accept? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1370306 United States 01/04/2012 05:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most people now believe speaking out against the government is dangerous, and they will be labeled a terrorist. You might have noticed also a trend in the entertainment industries and the side shows like Nancy Grace and that men who were formerly respectfully referred to as bachelors are now being portrayed by media and entertainment as probable pedophiles , terrorists and 'loners'. The reason for this is obvious to me, these men are the most outspoken when they encounter government corruption because they don't have families to worry about. How many times have you heard someone say "I can't get involved, i have a family to think about"? As an example of the systematic deception being perpetrated on the public, The real statistics show that 78% of pedophiles are married and have children of tier own, but if you watch CSI 'special victims unit', you will be thoroughly convinced every man over 40 that isn't married is out stalking and molesting numerous children. What is most disturbing about this is that the actual statistics reveal exactly the opposite is true, that it is most often gregarious individuals with many social contacts who are married that are serial pedophiles.. They also tend to be go alongs where the government is concerned and involved in 'youth programs' such as the boy scouts ,public schooling, youth sports, Child protective services and 'CASA'. Last year over 360 CASA volunteers in Texas alone were found to be convicts, many sex offenders and these are people appointed by the courts to work one on one with abused children in privacy. What does it take to wake people up , of course they don't have the consent of the governed, they have the obedience of the governed through fear. And the people they are targeting are the people like me who have the courage to point out their lies, and expose them. |

Fuck man.... not everyone can make 75k a year, why is that hard for you to accept? Yeah, and it's funny how these people that complain you are freeloading never mention the government paying out billions to billionaire international corporations and banks in bailouts, most of which go to CEO's. And most of them have never raised a callous on tier hands or worked an honest job in their lives. Any money I have received from the government is a drop in the bucket compared to what they owe me and what they have stolen from me |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 872204 But seriously this article shows that there is common ground across the board on this issue with the people, even half of your hated "liberals" agree its fucked. Assuming polling means jack shit this is a positive sign. Now what if people refused to be governed by this system. I have felt in the past that people would have to take arms against the federal government before anything would change. The founding document of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, states that governments derive “their just powers from the consent of the governed.” What if we revoked our consent to be government. State and federal governments are all corrupt. The rise of the criminal justice empire, and prison privatization, has victimized tens of millions of Americans for profit, and any for victimless crimes that come down to a matter of personal choice (Pot). Its blatantly obvious that across partylines, this government has lost the faith of the American people. We no longer believe in in our leaders, but most feel more like they have become our captors.... because they all seek the interest of the corporation. This could actually be the groundwork for removing the entire federal government. If you didn't know, I know most here do, the federal government is a private corporation, under the direct influence, if not control, of Britain. This is why federal grants are handed out to states for jails, prisons, department of children and families, and every other private interest raping the people....creating the crime. and drugs... it doesn't even take a "conspiracy theorist" to know the federal government controls the illegal drug trades, and in hand the major street gangs that are terrorizing our cities. "these are the real terrorist,yet nothing meaningful is done to stop them. Why?" Americans only hope, is to somehow take back their consent to be governed.... and DISREGARD and openly/publicly revoke our consent to be governed. |
