I've done well in my life, I've also gotten lucky...but I've worked hard. I've taken jobs no one else would take, like roofing houses on the weekends so my wife wouldn't have to work.

But it seems there is a growing segment of the population that thinks they are entitled to everything without doing the work to get there.

We need to get much stricter with who gets a vote in the elections. Immigrants should have a 10 year waiting period to prevent this ridiculous tampering by the Democratic Party.

Welfare and Sec 8 regulars should NOT get to vote until they start paying taxes and get off the public dole. It is absolutely a conflict of interest to have politicians pandering to people who are taking tax payer money.

Welfare/sec 8 people should not be allowed to buy alcohol or tobacco.

There has to be incentives to become independent.
1. Either you're a citizen, or you're not. As I recall -- and correct me if I am wrong -- aren't you a bit of a constitutionalist? If so, stop tampering with it. There are not various levels of citizenship.

2. All people pay taxes. Maybe not property tax. Or some other particular tax. But all people pay taxes.

3. So you want a class-system type of Prohibition since Prohibition worked so well when we tried it once before.

I'm a person, that was born in Oklahoma.
I am no "citizen"


The Constitution does not start out, "We the Citizens".
I'm the subject of no human being.

The people have the right to keep & bear arms, not the Citizens. Citizens who are privileged, with no actual rights.
One has to consent, to be governed and oppressed, buy other humans.

Perhaps you need a mirror.

I think everyone should vote even in jail. Now this is my quasi Libertarian Democrat here I think business should not ask questions regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or previous criminal history on a job application. Interviews sgould be a two part one by phone and based off individuals skills.
