If you vote more than once in an election, would you get a tax refund?

I send that. Have been saying it for years, and from time to time catch some heat for it. Won’t back down.

The Democrats have to force their voters to the polls.

They never did before. In fact, they'd load 'em up in buses and take 'em to poll after poll after poll!

Wouldn’t enforcing this mandatory voting require a picture ID to verify who had voted? Obama has been hoisted on his own petard.

My wife has been a US Citizen since 1975. Before she came to the USA she was required to either vote or go to jail.
Now that she has a choice, she chooses to not vote.
Imposing a reverse voting tax would be like going back to a communist hellhole.

Precisely. Requiring citizens to vote reduces elections to formalities. The state will always win. Mandatory voting is the fundamental principle of totalitarianism. Obama has outed himself, again as an oligarch. He is not a president.

Unfortunately, given where were are now in the destruction of the Constitution and the rule of law, obozo and his minions won’t need to bother. If, as some of us suspect, he is NOT going to go gentle into that good night but refuses to leave, who the hell up there will STOP HIM??

SEPTEMBER, 2016

“OK, tell me where we are.”

“Yes sir. I’ve sent secure messages to all involved parties and they have responded that they will all be ready.”

“The mullahs in charge of the mosques and training camps, our friends in the military, our friends in the minority and black communities, the leaders of the illegal immigrants, our friends running the local armories...all of them...?

“Yes sir! They’re ready for your call.”

“Alright then. Let’s go on the next national holiday when most of those idiots in the legislature will be away or hungover or both. Tell the mothers to bring their children. If we run into any serious opposition, those kids should make them think twice before pulling a trigger.”

His assistant chuckled as she smiled back at him. “Yes sir.”

The word went out that it was to be September 4th, the day before Proletariat Appreciation Day, approximately 60 days before the next election. Polls indicated that there was almost certainly going to be a sweep of the legislature and the executive office by the radical wings of the conservative party. He had wanted to go sooner but his purge of senior officers had been slowed by the halfhearted “investigation” by the increasingly gutless legislature. He was now certain that he had all the right people in the necessary key top spots in the military.

Two of the biggest hurdles in the plan – besides the secrecy necessary to bring it off — were transporting his supporters from around the country and providing them sufficient arms.

Both problems were solved by moving General Hamad to the highest position in the army last January. He’d been busy sorting through the commanders of the largest posts in each region, either assuring that they were loyal and on board with the plan and, if not, replacing them with officers who were. Some those thought to be a threat to the plan – mainly commanders from the southern regions – had sudden fatal “accidents.

Now that those loyalists – all of whom were promised prime positions once the new regime was in power — were in place, the necessary transportation was assured by means of the hundreds of assorted over-the-road vehicle in the motor pools of each installation. And the weapons problem was a no brainer if one has unfettered access to multiple huge military installations.

The plan was to convoy into the Capitol city from even the most distant points in the country with a coordinated ETA of 12 midnight on the appointed date. Supporters from each region were given specific areas to seize and control.

When midnight of the 4th arrived, approximately 30 million loyal supporters of Dear Leader descended on the Capitol city and quickly quelled the minor resistance by some of the law enforcement and retired/reserve military personnel. Many minority members of the DC Police Department shed their uniforms for civilian clothes and joined the outsiders as they formed a defensive perimeter around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The rabble then rounded up every member of Congress they could find in DC, summarily executed them and, if they could be found, their families.

Once it became clear that the transformational revolution had reached a new and violent level, several million citizens – mainly from the southern regions – launched well organized counterattacks, the battle was joined in Manassas just as it had been in 1862 and the NEW struggle for the soul of America was on!

Can this dreadful, nightmare scenario be avoided?

That depends on the person reading this and those with whom you choose to share it.

So what are the penalties for not voting? Is he going to send out his thuggish goons to drag people out of the cemetery?

Presumably the government would fine people who don’t vote, which is why I argue he’s proposing a reverse poll tax.
