The law he proposes is not a poll tax; it merely requires that voters be, for the most part, self-supporting.
I wouldn’t have a problem with raising the debt ceiling, if Boehner was actually serious about making cuts. Even though LAURA-INGRAHAM-SAYS-WE-MUST-PASS-IT-NOW-OR-WE’RE-DOOOOOOOOOOMED, the bill does not cut anywhere near enough to prevent a downgrade.
All Boehner has to do is re-submit the bill with $4T in cuts, instead of $900B, and I’m with him all the way.
I’d prefere a flat rate of 15%, individual and corporate, excluding SS and Medicare payroll. We will need to PAY DOWN DEBT, as well as fund the basic, constitutional functions of government. Once we’ve paid down most of our debt, we can then cut the rates some more.
I like it. I like it a lot!
Let those supporting the debt ceiling increase... pay for it.
When only 20% of the population is paying the bills, they should have 5x the vote... but we don’t.
And since we don’t, the debt will go up... and I’ll be forced to pay more and more, getting less and less.
That’s why I stopped. I don’t see this ending up any different then the fate of the USSR
GREAT letter!
(and Michelle Bachmann recently made a similar point, about taxpaying and voting. there SHOULD be a linkage somehow.)
i especially liked:
“It is no longer a time for compromise of any sort.”
“ DO NOT RAISE THE DEBT CEILING. “
My represrntative, Steve Southerland, FL.2, attends a prayer session every Monday night when he is in DC. There are many others who attend....they have a special room, like a chapel.
Please God, stand with them and make them strong.
You forgot to tell them to that by backing off Agenda 21 we won’t be able to stop the growth of American industry.

Dear Mr. Crawford,
I have been getting a Bad Request (Invalid Hostname) return reply when I click on Rep Jack Kingston’s email contact icon. Would you please correct this situation and notify me when I may contact him again by email.
Many Thanks,
Sincerely,

However, if you bring your tax return showing money paid to the IRS in positive amounts, your vote goes in the box that gets counted.
Ping!
Whoa—my handle on the email spooked me a little. Thanks very much for the info, though—I’m planning to send it shortly.
“Any person receiving social welfare (not including social security or medicare) as a primary source of their means of living (a primary source being defined as anything over 25% of their total income), shall, for the duration that they receive such government largess, not be allowed to vote in any local, state, or federal election.”
Jeff, I agreed with just about everything you wrote, including the above.
But you know as well as I that even if this passed the Congress, it would not withstand a “Constitutional test” before the Supreme Court. The 14th amendment guarantees “equal protection”, and passing such a law as yours above is a blatant attempt to “un-equalize” protection (in this case, the right to vote). It would probably lose 9-0.
Why not introduce that as an out-and-out Constitutional amendment, instead?
Just sayin’....
Good to see you back in action Jeff. God Bless!
