    funnily enough, I keep an eye on fringe right wingers and they're bickering over supporting Trump calling MAGAtards "part of a cult" as if they hadn't been part of the cult themselves. This is what saddens me about main stream media legally challenging archiving websites, they can then rewrite history as they choose by scrubbing entire articles and having no one else to call them out due to "copyright" claims if someone holds a digital copy of prior content (FOX started this trend). The average MAGA Joe may get a partial win by scrubbing their twitter timeline but they're sorely mistaken if that hasn't been backed up elsewhere to lord over their heads.

    The only folks that should be allowed to vote are citizens that pay a net positive federal income tax ( Social Security recipients and VA benefit recipients would be the exceptions).

    So if you work 40 hours a week for min wage you shouldn't be allowed to vote?

    If you are not paying a net positive federal income tax, then no, you should not be allowed to vote. On the other, if an individual with a part time job is paying net positive federal income tax, then yes, that person should be allowed to vote.

    We can't have people with no skin in the game voting themselves money from the US Treasury.

    Millions of low wage workers have no skin in the game? What would happen to the game without those workers?

    We can't have folks that are not net positive in federal income tax contributing to the decisions for those who do. This is basic stuff----Get Right

    We live is a representative democracy (Republic), but this quote stands the test of time and you are seeing the collapse right now.
    --
    “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”
    ― Alexander Fraser Tytler
