You mean to statistically select the single most representative person in the country and let that person alone decide?

Should the U.S. Adopt Compulsory Voting?

We're already there. If you don't vote, someone will vote on your behalf.

Patience, grasshopper. One must grow up before one calls others a “jackass”.

complusary voting is why Brazil is so poor and socialist. Corrupt politicans throw small amounts of money around the favelas, make promises, and the stupid vote regularly for the socialists. Since the extremely poor and stupid vastly outnumber the educated, Brazil can never make much progress. Of couse, the socialists know this, which is why there is so much poverty.

Stop paying your taxes and see if you really own your land.

Stop paying your taxes and see if you really own yourself.

You are so right.

I had reason a few years ago to search some tax records in my sparsely populated county on the north Gulf of Mexico.

The owner of a quarter section of land on the sandy beach lost it due to his inability to pay $15 in taxes during the Great Depression.

So called property owners actually rent their land.

Don’t take my vote away.

I work hard and have zero debt. Why should I be punished because I don’t own a house?

[doberville]

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

The first mistake was letting non-land holders vote.

The second mistake, to my chagrin as a female, was giving the vote to women. JMHO

[Hoffer Rand]

No, in fact, I think people who don’t pay income taxes SHOULDN’T get to vote. You don’t pay in, you don’t get to decide how it gets spent.

[Zionist Conspirator]

No.

Next question.
