Like I said I'm living my life on the principles of George Mason and Thomas Jefferson. they would not pay for obamacare nor shall I.But your tax evasion IS relevant. I am calling you on your hypocrisy of calling welfare people names while you enjoy the fruits of the tax payers without carrying your own weight.
The electoral college was simply a compromise between appointing a president and electing one by popular vote. There is no reason why the popular vote should not be used now.
Are you aware that, when you vote, it is not for a candidate for president, but for someone who says that they will cast their electoral vote for president?
And what is the punishment if they cast it for another candidate?
Now about that electoral college?
I believe they would pay their taxes, especially since obamacare is not the only thing in the federal budget.
Now about that ability to read......I already commented on the electoral college.
You believe? no they would not pay this tax they resisted paying unjust taxation. No you have not answer it
Here is where we started
The 17th amendment does go against what they wanted, they even had heated angry debates on it.The large states wanted senators elected by the people. The small states wanted senators elected by the states. They compromised and split the elections House is elected by the people, and the senate was to be elected by the state legislators.
and then this
Yes their loyalties would be with the State legislators, and the state legislators answers directly to the people of that state, and not the one who has the most money. I have more access with my state representatives than I do to my federal elected representatives. hell for what it's worth I just had breakfast the other day with two of my state representatives and a couple of county commissioners, and city council members and the Governors representatives
They feared that that if the people voted for all elected officials they would vote vote themselves more money, it created the mess we have now. That's why we have the electoral college. This is why I am correct.
And then my question was this
What is the purpose of the electoral college if I am wrong? It's as old as the Constitution.
Now address it or move on
