Brings up an interesting topic..If you cannot have taxation without representation, should we have representation without taxation?

Nope. If we are going to keep our current system, then people do not contribute to the common purse, or are taking any form of government support, should have voting rights completely revoked.

This is one of the things that made lowering the voting age so absurd - especially as more kids move from HS to college than to work. Before people are allowed to vote they really need to see what is involved in making a living and how taxes affect their livelihood. It's easy for someone who isn't out trying to survive on his or her own to think about all the things government could do, but it's another to realize that you as an individual have to pay for it and that reduces your means to survive. We as individuals unlike the government have to make decisions on what we can afford.

Liberals keeping it classy. I don’t agree with attacking spouses. Hillary is an exception because she entered the political world herself. I haven’t heard any attacks on Jill Biden’s character. If there have been some, then I don’t agree with that. I also don’t agree with Jill Biden, or whoever else it is that is unelected but is actually the one calling the shots in this administration.

200 years is the amount of time that average dominant countries, succeed. Amazing to watch it happen.

Don't you know dems hate it when republicans steal their playbook and then improve on it. I still believe that voter registration should be done in an office by official registrars, but dems decided to break that, so give them a taste of their own medicine. Breaking with tradition, rules of order, and established procedure for expediency does have consequences.

Maybe but maybe like Rome, after over 300 years of power as a Republic, we can Reform as an Empire and get another three Centuries in 😉. The question is, who will play Caeser and then who will play Augustus?

Another Harris staffer will be packing it in & will find a new job that their boss will have a brain.
Pathetic. This moron of a VP can't seem to answer just basic questions that are simple to answer.

Precisely why we had rules for who was allowed to vote and the system was set up where there was really only one "democratically" elected office in the federal government to start. Democratizing the federal government and allowing more and more people to vote was a mistake, and always has been historically.

When you really dig down deep and look at how the system was designed you are right. Now it can be argued, is it any better to allow politicians to elect other politicians. I researched this topic some months ago. I think it is in the constitution. I would have to look back again.

Electors vs voters. The lines have been intentionally blurred as allot of people don’t know about electors.
