The weekly 10th amendment violation

Obviously, once you eliminate voter ID there would be no way to prove voter fraud.

You are listening to Republicans who only care about suppressing Democratic voters and lie about the extent of voter fraud in a weak attempt to hide their bigotry. In reality, last year most voter fraud was committed by people who voted for Trump the Terrorist.

Voter ID card laws prevent thousands of Democratic voters from voting in their precincts. College students move too often to always have the right address on their state ID cards or driver's licenses. They usually are liberal, progressive, or socialist.
 
It seems the "Kraken" isn't too sure about the "incontrovertible" part now that she has to prove it in court...with that whole billion dollar lawsuit by aggressive, trained lawyers heh

Seemingly, her defense is that her comments were just her "opinion" and no reasonable person would take them seriously.
 
Theere isn't any country in the world that doesn't require some type of voter id.

Oranges and submarines, what has house insurance got to do with benefits ?

Should people receive more in benefit than they pay in tax ?

Insurance reference meant to describe the pooling of money, similar to taxes. You pay car insurance and may never benefit from it. You pay taxes and may receive unequal benefit, What people pay in taxes should NOT impact the benefits they receive. Having said that, states that choose to have lower taxes or greater benefits than they pay in federal taxes are making a conscious effort to steal from those states that pay more in federal taxes than they receive in benefits.

Yes there is. Not all countries have elections.

How do you know all countries that do have elections require a voter ID card?

That's a good and fair point

But federal taxes should apply to everyone on an equal basis and someone in New York City on benefits, needs more than someone in Georgia.
 
Where does the "no shoes no shirt no service" thing fall under this topic? Or those bars in Arizona that decide no, you cannot carry a gun in here, despite state law that permits it? If someone refused to leave establishments, I assume they could also be cited for trespassing.

I would suggest that the people in NYC are paying more in fed taxes than those in GA.

Georgia

• Avg. income after taxes: $36,950 (pre-tax: $45,745)

• Avg. taxes paid as pct. of income: 19.2% (24th lowest)

• Federal income tax collections per capita: $5,132 (25th lowest)

• State and local tax collections per capita: $3,663 (9th lowest)

• Largest source of state and local tax collections: Property tax (31.7% of total)


New York

• Avg. income after taxes: $51,307 (pre-tax: $68,667)

• Avg. taxes paid as pct. of income: 25.3% (4th highest)

• Federal income tax collections per capita: $8,314 (7th highest)

• State and local tax collections per capita: $9,045 (the highest)

• Largest source of state and local tax collections: Income tax (32.7% of total)

What's the average annual income after taxes in every state?

24/7 Wall St. analyzed IRS data to calculate average incomes after taxes. Taxes reduced incomes by as much as 33.6%, depending on the state.

Compare NYC with Georgia (less downtown Atlanta)

The UK

Are you telling me that I could walk into the polling place in the UK and pretend to be someone else and vote for them? Without some type of ID, that is possible.
 
There is no such thing as a "federal election." All elections are controlled by the States. Also the dual sovereignty nature of the US means that the States cannot be compelled to enforce federal law. Which is why 28 States still do not support the Affordable Healthcare Act of 2010 as they consider it unconstitutional. It is also why the Supreme Court slapped down the Democrats the last time they tried to illegally create universal background checks in Printz v. United States, 521 U.S. 898 (1997).
 
If you had gotten an education instead of that leftist indoctrination then you would know that a private business is not the government and is therefore not constrained by the US Constitution like the government.

All she needs to do is put the officer on the stand and ask him why she was issued a citation for trespass. As soon as the illegal mask requirement pops up, she walks - with millions from the city of Galveston.

Sorry dude. A bank is a private business. They can mandate anything they want on or inside their property. She was violating the banks policy and refusing to leave. It's no difference when you walk into 7-11 without a shirt or shoes. If you refuse to comply or leave the premises, you get charged with trespass. If you go as far as to fight with the cops, you get resisting.

Just wear the damn mask and none of this would matter. All these stupid people are just making it hard on themselves for being stupid.

Don't leave out NYC, just include it and compare it to people living in Georgia (outside downtown Atlanta).

What point are you trying to make?

Sorry, I don't get your point. Of course the business is not constrained by the govt. That's why Twitter could ban Trump. The private business in my example says no-shoes-shirt-service/masks required/no guns allowed, and calls on the government in the form of the police to remove someone violating the rules and refusing to leave for trespassing. What did I miss? How is that reasoning an example of leftist indoctrination?

The best way would be to index benefits to the average household income, in any given area.
 

Considering you want America to be a Catholic theocratic absolute monarchy in which there would be no real protected rights (as the king could violate them on a whim and the people would have no recourse against their Divinely Ruling monarch), why should anyone care what you think about the Constitution?
 
Has he never heard of the 95 thesis ?
