I would leave it in place but reduce its obstruction ability. In Canada a law passes after 3rd vote even if the Senate tries to block it.
Now all the sudden redistribution is bad?View attachment 67341848
- 80% of states receive more in federal funding than they contribute.
- Of the states which receive more than they contribute 70% of them are Republican.
- Of the states which contribute more than they receive, 80% are Democratic.
- Kentucky, home of Mitch McConnell receives almost 2 1/2 times more money from the government than its citizens pay in.
Red States are using the bullshit set up of the U.S. Senate to flat out steal from liberals. Without liberals, the roads, bridges, and tunnels of Republican states would crumble.
Hell, most of the South still wouldn't have indoor plumbing or electricity if FDR didn't create the TVA to do it for them.
If the people of California, New York, New Jersey, Mass, Conn, and Illinois are the ones paying most of the taxes they do not deserve to have some piece of shit from Kentucky taking it all for his shithole state.
You realize that you are the one contradicting yourself right?Now all the sudden redistribution is bad?
Ha!Now all the sudden redistribution is bad?
You shouldn't assume anybody that points things like this out is automatically on the opposing side of the issue.You realize that you are the one contradicting yourself right?
If you take it to the side who gets stolen from and who gets rewarded then it's great. It's done in a way that helps out their political rivals then it's evil.Ha!
Shows what they really want....to control...
A position that is ****ing stupid is not improved by consistency.You shouldn't assume anybody that points things like this out is automatically on the opposing side of the issue.
My position has been pretty consistent taxation is theft.
So you were mistaken about me contradicting myself then?A position that is ****ing stupid is not improved by consistency.
It's historical ignorance. Assumption was put into place to allow the Federal government to have a measure of control over States and their State Legislatures.If you take it to the side who gets stolen from and who gets rewarded then it's great. It's done in a way that helps out their political rivals then it's evil.
This is just simply lack of personal awareness.
Excellent pointIt's historical ignorance. Assumption was put into place to allow the Federal government to have a measure of control over States and their State Legislatures.
Now, this one wants to take away their right to representation at the Federal level as well. Not realizing that when we expand the sentiment -- those who pay get a larger say, and those that take don't get a stake, well then what is to befall all of their fellow lefties when they stretch out their necks reaching for the government teet? The Golden Rule, those with the gold make the rule.. I don't think they'd like that too much.
If you're voting for those who would maintain this system then you are most definitely contradicting yourself, and if you're a conservative from Texas then rational thought is definitely not in your arsenal.So you were mistaken about me contradicting myself then?
Stupid people never do. That's what makes them stupid.I don't think my position is stupid
Taxes are no different than the membership dues you pay to an HOA or for membership to any club you join. If you think they're too high then you can go find another club or country to join.you have all the right to think whatever you want
but I'm not contradicting myself I'm contradicting a party which makes sense because I'm an individual.If you're voting for those who would maintain this system then you are most definitely contradicting yourself, and if you're a conservative from Texas then rational thought is definitely not in your arsenal.
telling people stupid for not agreeing with you is a rather banal tactic quite immature as well.Stupid people never do. That's what makes them stupid.
Texas to the HOA is theft. I don't have a choice in that I do have a choice on whether I remember to have a club or not so that's not comparable you need to think before you postTaxes are no different than the membership dues you pay to an HOA or for membership to any club you join.
I don't have to be part of any club they don't send people then to kidnap me and steal my property. If I could opt out of paying taxes then that would be a comparison.If you think they're too high then you can go find another club or country to join.
You don't have to drink direct democracy already exists in other countries and just move there. If you want that here this clearly isn't the country for you considering it is a constitutional republic.Abolish the Senate, increase the House to have each member represent at most 300k people, abolish the EC, turn us into a democracy. Ain't gonna happen but one can dream.

Not sure why you would live in a place you dislike so much. Seems odd to me.The old America love it or leave it post. Got to love these deep thinkers, lets put them in charge of our constitutional convention. What could go wrong?

South Carolina is a red state. Don't like it? Move to China.
