6. The christofascists and Dominionists want a return to, at the very least,
the way the Founding Fathers had it: one household - one vote; and slaves 3/5 of a person, with no vote at all.
Of course, some want Leviticus, where nobody ever heard of voting.
The more common thing is for them to loudly proclaim that any taxation whatsoever (well, except taxation of the poor and liberals) is equal to communism
Uh, those "Dominionists" are an extremely small segment of Christianity and will never be numerous enough to have any kind of influence.
And that 3/5 of a person...that was done over the objections of those slaveholders who eventually became the DEMOCRAT racists that didn't want to give blacks the vote and when REPUBLICANS did, the racist DEMOCRATS like Algore's father & Senator Byrd (the conscience of the senate...only racist DEMOCRATS would give a klan member that title) voted against it. Byrd was even a grand Keegle or something like that (which I thought was simply vagina exercises until I learned about him and his "white ******s").
That 3/5 of a person was at the behest of those who were against slavery (you know, the ones that become REPUBLICANS...the party of LINCOLN and MLK who freed the slaves and marched to give blacks the right to vote, respectively). It's purpose was to at least give blacks some voice, small though it was and make sure they had constitutional rights with their goal being full rights after they were able to subdue those racist DEMOCRATS.
Oh, show me taxes the poor pay...other than on items like cigarettes which your party insists on as punishment for smoking.
Not one Republican I know objects to paying taxes. Local taxes fund police, fire, parks, etc. that directly benefit the local community and are voted on by the local community. Nor do we have a problem paying federal taxes for those things specifically mandated in the constitution. Perhaps if we weren't paying for exorbitant salaries for redundant government workers we could pay our military (those that put their butts on the line) what congress makes.
By the way, you ignorant slug, we live in a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Democracy ends up being no more than mob rule.
Also, you should know, most ancient societies had similar rules for voting. Leviticus simply gave people a code to live by. It sounds foreign and restrictive to modern society but tribal cultures had to have stricter rules to survive. Look at any of the noble tribal peoples you're always whining about. Study your ****ing history and you won't sound like an idiot when you're trying to be profound.
