Democrats bribe their voters all the time.

Republicans who put their noses in the air and snort “We are above such tawdry tactics” are just trying to lose.

Long ago, I heard it said that Republicans should never try to win by vote-buying, because Democrats will always outbid them.

Thank you for posting ClearCase_guy.

Elite desperate Democrats and RINOs have been bribing post-17th Amendment (17A), constitutionally low-information voters for many generations with 16th Amendment (16A; direct taxes)-facilitated, unconstitutional taxing and spending in order to stay in power imo.

More specifically, consider that most post-17A ratification lawmakers discovered that they could promise voters who have evidently never really studied the federal government's constitutionally limited powers every unconstitutional federal social spending program under the sun to get themselves elected. Constitutionally naïve voters eventually took the bait and elected these crooks, and then reelected them!

Then once in office, criminal-minded lawmakers abuse their 16A powers by simply fulfilling their campaign promises for unconstitutional federal spending, scandalously ignoring their oaths to respect their constitutional Article I, Section 8 spending limits when doing so.

In other words, Trump's $5,000 for all citizens can arguably be regarded as the tip of the iceberg for reparations for a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes.

In fact, Congress has been "concerned" about 16A, evidenced by a resolution to repeal that amendment a few years back that unsurprisingly failed.

The 16th Amendment actually desperately needs to be repealed along with 17A, popular voting for federal senators, the chances for a repeal amendment no more real than the "fact" that Trump can never be elected president imo.
