If only landowners voted, would we have a welfare state?

[Marion Morrison]

$5 day per dependant.
Try to feed yourself with only $35 aweek.

I can, and nutritionally too. They're spending way more than that. I call bullshit!

You're either full of shit or a moron.

Why would you denigrate people you are obviously no better off than?

Why do you think saying someone used an EBT card is "denigrating" them?

I feel it's denigrating me. They're getting more than what I can afford, they get theirs for free while mine is won with blood, sweat, and tears.

Okay, maybe I don't cry every job.

I feel it's denigrating me. They're getting more than what I can afford, they get theirs for free while mine is won with blood, sweat, and tears.

That's because you're immature and embittered. Stop begrudging others for their struggles and address your own.

 

[Brain357]

Rightwingers spend so much time trying to concoct an undemocratic system of government that will serve THEM.

It's very funny.

I'm not concocting anything. It's history.
None of you bedwetters can read. I swear

So is slave ownership. Going to propose going back to that?

Nope. But way to be a dick about it.

It’s no more “dickish” than suggesting only landowners get to vote.

You're equating not getting to vote with getting the lash for not picking cotton fast enough.

Seriously?

You don't think voting rights are important?

Whether they are "important" is onething. Whether they are equivalent to getting whipped if you don't do everyting your owner tells you is another.

Only a prepostrous moron would equate the two things.

I think the right to vote and freedom go hand in hand.

Wrong, and that still doesn't make not having the right to vote equivalent to slavery. We were freer under the monarchy than we are now, and we didn't have the right to vote then.

 

[initforme]

Well we would go back to the feudal times. But this time workers would rise up and it would get really messy. Not good.

Sure we were. We are quite free, thanks.

Yes we were. We certainly paid a lot less in taxes, and we didn't have hundreds of government agencies regulating everything we did. Under the monarchy we paid only about 5% of our income in taxes.

You really don't understand the concept of liberty. I'm not surprised.

That's Saudi Arabia, a Muslim shithole. The citizens of European monarchies in the 18th Century had more freedoms than we have now.

Saudi Arabia doesn't tax residents.
