Yet another reason to keep the deceased and illegals on the election rolls.
Soon, the vouchers will be handed out when you renew a drivers license.
Couldn’t you go and receive your vouchers, then turn around and sell them for some value via Ebay?
The sewer pipe for our money flowing to politicians just got much wider.
so rather than use that money to house and feed the homeless they want to give it to socialist politicians
‘Two Seattle property owners, Mark Elster and Sarah Pynchon, brought a lawsuit against the city last year, claiming the vouchers system was violating their constitutional right to free speech by forcing them — through their tax dollars — to support candidates they didn’t like.
‘“Elster and Pynchon argue the Democracy Voucher Program is not viewpoint-neutral because the vouchers will be distributed among qualified municipal candidates unevenly and according to majoritarian preferences,” Gonzalez wrote, referring to the plaintiffs.’
Wait minute. Did the court add this weird “majoritarian preferences” language on its own? Is that actually how it was framed in the complaint?
‘“Here, the decision of who receives vouchers is left to the individual municipal resident and is not dictated by the city or subject to referendum … That some candidates will receive more vouchers reflects the inherently majoritarian nature of democracy and elections, not the city’s intent to subvert minority views.”’
So what? It’s still candidates of whom the taxpayers did not give their specific approval.
When one political party acquires too much power, it can leverage both votes and money by abusing that power. The courts are supposed to curb such abuse of power. Until now.
So.....
They take money from property owners and give that money to anybody who votes so they can give that money to politicians.
And the black robes in Washington don’t see anything wrong with it.
Taxes for roads......defense......public safety.....
Taxes for campaign funds......
And the black robes in Washington don’t see anything wrong with it.
My God.
Property owners and business are more likely to support conservative candidates. Property owners and business will be paying the tax which is then distributed to all registered voters. Thus we have created a slush fund for the liberal politicians paid for by mostly conservatives.
More efficient taking the lobbyist out of the equation and just let taxpayers fund the FRAUD!!!!!
Presume the Courts didn’t find any Takings objection valid (not like the Legislature cares about RIGHTS anymore anyway).
Seems not only are all politics local, but so is the tyranny.
More moves to securing a one party state.
Brown Shirts or Nazi Party ?
The only problem is that the Democrat Party is Finished, they just don't realize it yet.
Why is it finished? by the Democrat Party's own doing. The hordes from South and Central America along with the muslims that they are bringing in from everywhere will once they gain a plurality to a majority will select their own leaders and that will leave the Anglos out in the cold.
Oh , there may and will be some skirmishes between the factions to get things sorted out. The first round being the muslims, the Latins, and the Democrats. The final round will be between the Latins and muslims. The Democrats will be made short work of. They will be comprised of antifa, college and university students, some union members and a gaggle of idiots. The politicians, like the cowards they are will run for other State Lines.
If they can take tax money, distribute it and then let the taxpayer, sorry strike that, voter elect who gets it, why not do the same for everything? All the taxes are divvied up and each voter tells the government what he/she wants it to be spent on. That’d learn ‘em.
Don’t you just love how many creative ways politicians come up with to steal taxpayer monies?
