Rand Paul says the quiet part out loud regarding elections

[jc456]

Why should paying taxes be a requirement? If laws and issues are going to effect you, you have the right to have a say. Income, which is what this amounts to, disenfranchised all those who's income falls below a taxable rate and essentially creates two distinct classes of citizens. The elite, who are allowed to vote and the rest, who are not yet sustained pay taxes on purchases, have children in schools, and must what the elite decides. They have skin in the game, you've just removed their voice.

Are you still telling blacks they’re inferior and too ignorant to vote? Wow racist

The biggest players are the military industrial complex and private contract profiteering. Privatizing the prison industrial complex is another player.

Yes. Both of these are a blight on freedom.

Sports Socialism is another. Are you ready to stop all financing of sports stadiums, managers, and players worth billions?

I am, yes. There's plenty of money in sports. No need to bilk taxpayers.

How about the farm bill that pays farmers socialism profits for losses do to failed farming practices?

Yep. We should ditch that too.

All these folks are part of the voting block, and they receive socialism in the private sector.

Exactly. That's why it's so insidious. Everybody wants free shit.

If you say so. But my statement holds. Without Jobs, Apple would have been a footnote. Your conception of "actual work" doesn't seem to take into account everything that goes into producing useful products. It's more than just manual labor or product design.

Those designs and products that he had nothing to do with creating are the reason the company was successful.

Without Wozniak, Job has nothing Wozniak on the other hand had a product that could be sold with or without Jobs.

But Wozniak didn't sell them. Jobs did.

It's certainly possible that someone else could have done a better job, but he did run the company. You seem committed to the idea that running a company is "leeching" and that profit is "money for nothing". I don't get that.

Have you ever tried to run a successful business? It doesn't "just happen".

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

And until they do pay taxes have no legal say in mine! Let’s let them clean our streets and neighborhoods, serve dinners

That would be a good look for Trump.

The suppression of the vote and all the laws republicans made tells you shes/hes right.

 

[TNHarley]

In other words, people born into privilege. So, to hell with what you know, but who you are, and what you have. Which comes from privilege and inheritance. Sounds like a plantation owner who gets all the rights. LOL! You want to go back to the old confederacy with control, slave labor, and the say so about those less fortunate. Folks like you are extremely shallow.

No

 

[TNHarley]

Who are you again?

You are another example of what i am talking about. Your dumb ass has no business voting.

 

[Couchpotato]

How about we be like Starship Troopers and only let those that serve vote...

The book not that horrible movie I assume

 

[Couchpotato]

In the nation of “We the People”, they do

They really dont though. I dont know that land ownership makes you have "skin in the game" either but just being born here certainly doesnt, not in the sense that most people are talking about.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The book not that horrible movie I assume

The book was far better, but I am not too proud to admit I found the movie entertaining.

He didnt run the cmpany by himself . Wozniak and othered worked as designers in addition to handling corporate matters. Jobs was more of a public relations guy than a ceo. He was more like a mascot.


And without Wozniaks designs he literally had nothing.

There is a reason why he resorted to corporate espionage when the design team walked out in the 90's.. Because he had NOTHING.

If you create a product, and someone else markets it for you, do you beleive that they are entitled to be credited as a creator and take most of the profits? Cause thats what Jobs did. And once Wozniak was gone, the company was never as profitable because his designs were the backbone of the company. The onl reason the company made a comeback was job stealing the designs for mp3 players and getting a version out first.

Alright. You're entitled to your opinion. I think it's obviously foolish. The marxist view that profit is money-for-nothing is deliberately blind.

Sure man.

Jobs was a just a shiftless bum who took credit for the work of others. Everyone just gave him their money because - I dunno. Something. He sure tricked us.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I thought we've always wanted more people to vote?!

For conservatives, this is true only if they're white.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I dont. I wish it was only land owners or something equally restrictive that only involves people with skin in the game.

Such is the authoritarian right's contempt for our democratic institutions and desire for Republican minority rule.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

I thought we've always wanted more people to vote?!

Only people legally entitled to vote should vote. Leftists don't seem to care about that little detail, however.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Strange...when I run down the list of people caught committing vote fraud, it's all Republicans.

Do you live in an alternate reality?

You’re right, he should say it out loud, want welfare checks get working
