I’d agree - I’d expand it a bit to “net tax payers”.
You have to have a stake, besides the “gimmes”, in the kind of gov’t that results from the vote.
Well, they’d have to have a tax number and be a citizen.
Good cath just like that 45 lbs groper No but it makes one think
property owners
that was my first thought. debt free ones, at that. reminds me of something......
Sarge, this isn’t the mil of yesteryear.
There is a decent percentage of men in the mil today that are perfectly fine with the “gaying” of the military. And their reason is “as long as they do their job”.
With that short sighted, selfish reasoning, I don’t trust anyone anymore. All groups have been infiltrated today.
Leasing is common among people who work for themselves and have lost money in this bad economy, they sold to have money to bridge the gap, and are waiting to buy again when they have more work and money. There but for the grace of God could we all be.
And if you have full time work, you are in the minority in a rural area until Obama is gone, because-democrats hate us for being self-sufficient anyway...
Your ideas don’t work in bad times-liberals own property, too-especially in cities and they vote democrat.
opinions are like a$#h@les, everyone has one
Propose a law in which only conservatives vote. I’ll check it out.
That is an awfully broad brush you are using, sir-
I’m of Hispanic ancestry, and I’m most certainly not ignorant nor uneducated-neither are most of the people I know of any ethnicity-at least not here.
Kimberley Guilfoyel is a former Assistant DA who prosecuted criminals. As such, she has interviewed countless witnesses, prospective jury members and criminals and as such a pretty good perspective on the thought processes, attitudes and intellectual functional levels of most large segments of the population, with the caveat that her jurisdiction was San Francisco Bay Area which may or may not be reflective of the rest of the country.
Her comments are spot on and deserve some consideration because the voting patterns of some of less informed, misinformed and lowest common denominator voters are running the country into the ground.
That would be fine with me, but then it would not be a free country-that is why I suggested the current events thing-it would at least show that the potential voter was somewhat self-aware...
Pretty sharp cookie...sometimes. She sat in for Greta last night and just looked bored.
Milton Friedman said it.
You can’t be both a welfare state and have open borders.
We have about 50% drawing government checks and they vote for more and more.
For more on the underlying issue, Universal Suffrage--Threat To Liberty. (This was written when Clinton was President, so specific references should be understood in that context.)

I stand corrected. I was going by the stats where some 90% voted for Obama among blacks and some 80% of Hispanics although GWB got 40% of Hispanic vote.
It’ll never happen, but maybe we should go back to only property owners voting. Or give people a test first. Or forbid anyone, male or female, who’s on welfare from voting.
As I said, it’ll never happen.
Of course if one actually watches the video, and listens to what she actually said....
And he was right-both are counter productive, so why have either one?
The way to get rid of that 50% who won’t even try to go to work or open a cottage business that only costs the printing of business cards is to give charity back to the churches, where-according to my parents, and all I’ve read-it worked until LBJ f***ed it up.
And close the damn border-there are these guys called “Border Patrol” that have kick ass boats, 4WD vehicles, lots of firepower and the power to arrest and detain mojados-we need to let them do the job WE pay them for...
where do I sign?
No offense taken, FRiend-around here many/most of the Hispanic rural families like mine have been here for a couple of centuries or more, and so people are a bit more ethnically mixed and conservative than in the cities where the newer arrivals to the state are-and so are most of the liberals who came here with the tech industry-to Austin, etc. It makes this a bit different from some other states with a large population of Hispanic ancestry.
