So today I was thinking about all the parasites to society that are going to have their vote worth just as much as mine and thought of a great way to fix our country. This will work on many levels since it starts in the grassroots and spreads upward, quickly. I started thinking on why should a person who does nothing but suck life from society be able to have a voice? If you were in a small tribe and you decided as a group on what to do, would you allow the person who slept all day to vote on what the group does? Why would we allow people that have no idea on what the real world is all about, because you supplied their needs through welfare, to vote? Wouldn't that lead to exactly the type of politics we have now?
I am constantly hearing Obama and McCain shouting all the things they will give me. As if I need or trust the government to give me anything worthwhile without taking more from me the next day. Today the winning politician is usually the one who sounds best when promising the parasites their gifts. I seem to remember that the only rights our founders thought were given to us were life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Now, I had no idea that they thought the happiness would come directly FROM the government. I'd imagine that they thought freedom FROM government would be that pursuit of happiness.
So to my idea.
First off I would raise the voting age to 21, unless you have a military card. If you are old enough to serve, you can vote right? Well I see it that if you do serve you can vote, otherwise, why should an indoctrinated 19 year old be able to vote if they haven't even been given responsibility at a job yet? In most cases they haven't had to pay rent, car insurance, car payments, cell phone bills etc etc. Now some have, but I feel they are in an enough of the minority that their group shouldn't be allowed in the decision making process for this country. If you served in the military you have fought to protect our rights and deserve a seat at the table.
Next I would like to limit the voters to only people that pay in positive taxes for that election year. I think this could also extend to people that have paid positive taxes for X amount of years, say 25 years. That way people who have contributed to society are the only ones voting. My aunt has never known what its like to have to work for anything because she has been on welfare since she was a teenager. Why should her vote count just as much as mine? Again, would you allow the person in your tribe to vote if they had been lazy and sleeping all day every day? Probably not. The people that should be making the decisions should be the people that are helping make this country a better place. They are the ones who are getting jobs and helping keep our roads smooth, or bridges up. They are the ones keeping our military well kept and trained. The parasites are draining society and shouldn't be allowed a seat at the table.
Now, I don't feel this is elitist in any way. It's incredibly easy to make enough money to pay in positive taxes. For it to be elitist, I think the prerequisite would have to be tougher than getting a job.
Now some may be thinking this could be difficult. I do not think voter registration cards would get it done. However, we are in the information age with computers and databases bringing everything to you in the blink of an eye. The government has the central databases that could do this. When the IRS takes in your filed taxes, it marks your SS number as yes or no for voting possibility. Then you go to your voting building or whatever and you slide your license through the machine like a credit card. The machine reads your SS number and finds it in the database. It then says if you can vote or not. I think its pretty simple. If you do not have a license then you must get an identification card from the government. This also eliminates voter registration since you will already be in the database. This also eliminates lots of fraud obviously since it doesn't rely on registration but up to date taxes. Deaths are already run through the government and they could just mark the voting possibility no when you die. That way your social security number is no longer valid to vote.
Any thoughts or questions?
