Voting allocation plan

[TheDoctorIsIn]

Every year or so that I’ve been a member of this board, someone has suggested something along these lines.

So, yes. I think they are serious.

Why should rich people get more representation?

Because they pay most of the bills.

So?

[Samson_Corwell]

@BillBrown

That would mean you think they benefited the most from the government. They don’t.

Of course they do. What other institution creates and and enforces the laws that construct the relationship between them and their property?

Good luck with this plan. It goes against all principles of democracy. It also favors Democrats.

I know it does. The lefties who have posted on this thread have been too stupid to pick up on that.

Maybe they are disgusted by the idea and are not interested in realpolitik.

No. It’s stupidity on their parts.

Only to those who are pragmatists with no moral convictions.

What we need is a citizenship test.

Let’s stop tip toeing here and speak the non-pc truth - White male landowners should be the only votes that count.

Back in the 1960s, oil tycoon H.L. Hunt published a plan to change the voting laws. It would have required a constitutional amendment.
I thought it was a good idea. I still do.

1. Everyone 18 and above gets at least one vote.
2. Over 21 gets an additional vote.
3. The upper 25% individual income tax payers get an additional vote.

I like it, but it’ll never happen.

Most people do like their ideas, no matter how idiotic they are.

It’s not my idea.

But you still like the idiotic idea. So there is that.

But that’s not what you said. So there is that.

I never did say that idiotic voting idea in your OP was your idea, did I?

The answer to that is “No.”

But you still like the idiotic voting idea from your OP, as you stated.

It might be presumptuous of me, but I am leaning in the direction, that as well as H.L. Hunt, you do like the ideas that are original to you, no matter their level of idiocy?

Am I right?

Your sole aim was to say you think the idea is idiotic. Just say it and dispense with the rest of it.
It doesn’t bother me a bit.

Old rich guy wanted old rich guys’ vote to have more power than other US citizens?

Of course a rich person thought up the kooky idea of rich people getting another vote.

Its insane and goes against the tried and true american principle of “one man, one vote”

bad, bad idea of having rich people get another vote.

why do you support it??

Allan

Maybe only land owners should get the vote. Why slouch towards Oligarchy? Fall instead into it’s warm embrace.

Hey, how much land exactly would get you the right to vote? Because I’m thinking I could start selling off my back yard one square inch at a time.

I thought of a scheme like that also. I was going to do one square foot shares though.

You could make money in the volume.

Well, my back yard is already about the size of a postage stamp so I gotta go the square inch route. On second thought I’m gonna go metric on this and do square centimeters.

The idea is idiotic and counter to the very idea of a democratic republic.

All the lefties chiming in against it, only proves it is a good idea.

[calirepub]

Anything that lefties are against is a good idea for Republicans to advocate for.

That’s why the Republican Party needs to advocate to reestablish slavery in the United States. Lefties are going to throw a fit.

You don’t know your history.
Democrat was the party of slavery and of Jim Crow.
It’s in their political DNA.
I recently saw that Democrat sponsored congressional pages were predominately minority.
Pages work without pay. Even today, Democrats like free Black labor. They can’t help it.

[calirepub]

I’m not talking about history. Liberals would get so mad if Republicans started talking about making slavery legal again. This is good enough of a reason to do anything.
