I am a genius!

[GeronL]

BUMP for the new genius Proposal!!

This is a SERIES proposal!!!

[Political Junkie Too]

Good. Liberals can use the new UN/Russian/Chinese controlled Internet and we can use our own internet.

Funny, I considered this once. Only problem I had was that I could not figure out how to split the civil court system. What happens when the liberal tort system sues the conservative tort system?

[GeronL]

well. Probably not 2 internets, but their access could be taxed and their purchases too, while ours wouldn't.

[DugwayDuke]

Perhaps you are a genius, but the liberals won't like it for several reasons.

Take for example concealed carry. What's in it for the liberals? They don't own guns so why do they care if they can carry? They aren't worried about their guns, only your guns so they still would want to ban them.

Take welfare. The liberals wouldn't like your plan of not taxing the conservatives. Liberals don't work for their money, they want your money to pay for their policies.

What about work practices? Suppose a liberal works for a conservative and demands his liberal two years maternity leave to care for his new child? Or, health care for his domestic partner John? And, besides all that, the conservative doesn't want to pay the liberal living wage of $20 an hour for a janitor?

How about a liberal married to a conservative? How are the taxes figured and the social services?

I got a better idea, let's just not elect liberals or make them all live in California.

[GeronL]

well, gee thanks.

Well, you'll notice I said we should start with it for taxes and funding of government programs. Liberals would pay to support their programs and conservatives wouldn't.

Our taxes would be lower and we'd be banned from recieving those specified unsupported government services.

How would it work if we spread it to the courts??

yeesh. that requires more thought,

I ain't a genius or anything you know =o)

The liberals wouldn't like your plan of not taxing the conservatives. Liberals don't work for their money, they want your money to pay for their policies

Thats my point.

Conservatives don't pursue policies to 'get' someone else. Conservative policies don't have intended victims. Liberal policies are always aimed at making someone else pay, making some mean old hardworking person toe the line.

Liberals want to control others and conservatives want to, generally, be left alone. (Although not to the extreme of libertarians)

[Billthedrill]

You are, in fact, a genius. I do have one little objection to your plan, though, namely, I don't think you really understand what it is to be a liberal. It doesn't mean "pay for what you get." It means "get what other people pay for and make them feel guilty about it to boot." You're gonna have to build that in. The guilt thing, I mean - "theft" covers the other thing nicely.

[GeronL]

Thats kind of my point. Liberals want to control others, whats the point of having all of those government programs if you can't force people into them?

Thats exactly why leftists would hate the idea.

[Lazamataz]

I gotta admit. This ain't half bad.

One problem, tho: Let's say you've been a Conservative cardholder all your life. Old age is creeping up. You want free medical care, free prescriptions, to use the bus, library, etc.

You could just switch parties without having paid in.

[GeronL]

why you #@!$!

I'm not sure I feel like a genius anymore. I think it should be tested on a local level somewhere though.

Probably would have to have some sort of private retirement system on the conservative side I guess...

[MontanaBeth]

I won't ever be that old. I'll stay conservative my entire life, just like my 80+ year old parents. Way to much pride to wuss out at the end.

[Lazamataz]

Think through the problem.

Be the ball.

Nu-nu-nu-nu-nu-nu-nu-nu-nu........

Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu......

[Texas_Jarhead]

I love it!

I can see the 'liberal' and 'conservative' tax buttons on all the cash registers all ready.

[GeronL]

Wow, it is cold and windy here... in TEXAS! Its in the 30's and the wind is 'gusting' up to 40mph.... things are flying all over the place.... it knocked the lightbulb from our socket by the front door! Gusting??? Its been going all day.

Where was I??

[GeronL]

Thanks, ping your freinds!

The point is that conservatives would love it because they don't want to pay for liberal programs and liberals would hate it because they can't force people into and to pay for their liberal programs.

[Old Professer]

The same as now, the lawyers and the judge own the town.

[Travis McGee]

I think it needs a little work.

[GeronL]

well, I know that. Liberals would never go for voluntary stuff like that
