Neocon, are you really advocating an oligarchy? Just asking because charging $1000 bucks to vote sounds like you are.

Do any of you realize we are basically trading even with Canada now and the dollar is only getting weaker? Does anyone in this thread realize this country is going backwards fast and unless the voting power shifts away from pandering to the entitlement crowd that it's over? I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the ship is sinking.

So you'd rather have a million or so unemployed, lazy, entitlement voters in a state to sway the electoral vote? This is ok with you?

You realize that charging $1,000 to vote pretty much rules out a good chunk of the American population, correct?

he doesn't care since their votes are worthless. Maybe it will make them work harder in the future so they can really earn that vote

Ok, I will go over this one more time.

You can vote if:

You are 30 or older and have a job. If you were laid off in the last 6 months you have 6 months to find a job and can continue to vote in that time period. it is not fair to hold being laid off against a hard working person.

You are ex military

You own a home.

You own a business.

If you are none of these, you can buy in for 1000 dollars and 100 for each poll viting in.

How is this not fair? Everyone working 30 or older can vote! Period! If you dont meet any of the other reqs you can still buy in.

Tell me how this is not fair????????

Yeah, you're right. We'll just keep it in the extremely wasteful program it's in because it's already there, right?

I'm all for getting rid of useless programs I just don't want the money going out another door.

Probably should have rephrased it.

I was more or less asking him if he would be willing to take a vote away from people that actually work hard for a living and don't earn anything?

Which, apparently, he would.

I am no advocate of the welfare crowd, but i do have a question. Do those include corporate entitlements like tax breaks/loopholes and agribusiness subsidies? Entitlements do not only go to the poor.
Let's just do away with all voting, set up a board of directors, hire a CEO, and change our name to The United Corporation of America.

Well, considering it would pretty much kill welfare I think it would be more than cost nuetral and very likely cost positive.

Trying to limit the voices and the political power of persons simply because you disagree with their views and/or lifestyles is ridiculous. If you are that worried, that the majority of Americans are going to vote this country into a disaster, presumably because the politicians only pander to the poor and the lazy, then run for office yourself or leave and find a different country.

We are getting way off the subject. If anybody is advocating this they are off topic. It's not about limiting anybody's voice. They take themselves out of the equation if they don't value their own vote. Nobody has addressed why giving people a CHOICE is a bad idea.
