OK, maybe if you've been on unemployment less than 6 months you're still in- more than that, you'll just have to trust those who are still working and paying taxes.
It seems people on the dole have forgotten where the money comes from and who is paying for EVERYTHING in the government! It's just to easy to spend other peoples money!
If I remember my history correctly, there was a time that only land owners got a vote. I don't believe that would work know, but the point is, we sometimes take for granted the current "rules" and they don't really apply anymore! Time to tear out the tree and grow a new one.
If you took the vote from everyone living off the ones paying the bill, and let those paying the bill call the shots, would it help?

Nobody gives a fuck about voting. Most of us don't even bother. Why would we care about a system that is clearly a fraud?

Just proving my point- If you stopped letting anybody and everybody vote- would it start to matter?

I pay my taxes and work, and I haven't for about 15 years out of choice. I don't see how excluding people from a corrupted, ruined process is going to accomplish anything.

Sorry, Backitup, but that isn't acceptable. We've been working and paying into the system for 40 years. We are not willing to give up our rights or right to vote just because of the criminal element in government and banking that caused the unemployment.

That plays right into the hands of the criminals. If anything, the unemployed who have been victimized should get to vote twice just to make sure the bums get voted out.

No it wouldn't. Voting is there to give you the impression that you have a voice. It's a great scam and it's certainly fooled millions for a long time.

Excluding the people who are out of touch and diluding the situation is exactly what we need. Maybe you'd vote if it mattered again!

Of course I would. But it doesn't, and won't until things are changed drastically. At which point I suspect we'll be voting more for a "tribe leader" or something and not commander-of-the-fucking-universe. The system be way too big.

I know the system is way to big- listened to the news at lunch today- listening to Gov' people talking about the services here in Wa state they were going to have to cut this year.......Fuck them....billions of dollar budget and they can only cut schools and such.... Let me see the damn budget, and let me see the part they consider "untouchable" that's where I'd love to see someone like me find it more than "touchable"- I'll make some major changes so quick it would make your head spinn.....
