  4. The simple solution to that is no Universal suffrage.

    Only those that actually pay net taxes should be able to vote

  5. It's not perfect but the fair tax is the best alternative proposal I've heard to this steaming pile of dog$hit we have today.

    Do you mean the US is not a pure democracy, or that the US is not even a representative democracy?

    He probably means the US is a Constitutional Republic. We were never meant to be a Democracy. The founding fathers warned us of the dangers of a Democracy (mob rule).

    Democracy is not great. Democracy is mob rule. We are a Republic, a country of laws, through the Constitution and our president (past & present) and congress fucking morons are currently walking and spitting all over it.

  10. We could bypass voter reform if we eliminated the income tax and made all citizens participate ie national sales tax.



    I don't worry too much about name calling. I was known as SATAN2liberals on yahoo.
