War Room Lounge v149: FFS, a whole thread in since Saturday?

[Sycho Sid]

If only the people who pay taxes in said state were allowed to vote, then sure!

Nice to see you are on board with turning America into a liberal stronghold.

 

[Goonerview]

So what about the super wealthy who make a shit ton and pay next to nothing in taxes?

If they are a net contributor, then sure!

I’m against tax evasion, FTR.

Also, what taxes are we going by here? Sales tax? Gas tax? Income tax? Property tax? Because even undocumented workers pay a crap ton in sales tax and gas taxes, and yes other taxes as well

NET tax contributor.

Income/property.

 

[Sycho Sid]

That is not how the electoral college works.

Also literally everyone in America is a tax payer, even undocumented workers.

I'm surprised you're even humoring him lol.

So basically you want to make it so the middle class and under have no real voting power, even though they pay more in taxes than the upper class?

I can't sleep and am bored.

And this is who exactly?

FFS go watch demolition man.

yes my master

My beliefs are more along the lines of “if you are not a net-positive tax contributor, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote”.

One of the reasons why democracy is probably doomed to fail, is that many people just vote for the guy that promises free shit.

People that pay more in tax, arguably should have more of a say in how that tax is actually used.

The irony of this post almost matches the irony of your very account: an extremely unintelligent white guy living in a nonwhite country while actively bitching about how immigration is killing your home country and saying you would approve of massive reductions in living standards there there if it meant kicking out all the darkies.

 

[irish_thug]

yes my master

After reading your little princess fantasy, I'd rather you not refer to me in that manner.

 

[Trotsky]

How about we do the same thing but extend it to states instead of individual people? After all, if California is a massive contributor as far as taxes go, why should Mississippi get a vote in national elections if they're not a net positive tax contributor?

He's English, not American.

They wanna return to a pre-democratic European industrial revolution style voting system. They want to revert universal suffrage, for obvious reasons. It would never get implemented, even though with money in politics today's system is still tipped in the favor of rich people.

 

[Shoemaker]

What did they do with your old hip?

I nominate this for the next lounge title.

I weigh 85kg, that's not little, it would have to be an actual strong woman. I don't even know how strong you are?

Oh I know.

I really wonder where this desire to be ruled over comes from.

It's the beaten woman syndrome. I don't mean this in a demeaning way towards women either, but there's a certain pathology people develop where it's easier on the mind to believe the elite have our best interest at heart, and are capable people that will bring us order in a chaotic world, than to accept that they're actually greedy evil cokeheads.
