She was born into wealth. Anyone who is poor and doing what she does would be labeled a $lut (or a hooker.) She was born into a famous family, and enjoys an inheritance that bought her a manager. That manager does her thinking for her, just as your financial planner does for you. Money for brains.

Maybe women and minorities shouldn't get a vote. After all, us serfs are only here to serve millionaires.

That anyone is buying this is absurd. That people give this op a legitimate thought is beyond reason.
I have no problem with women and minorities being able to vote based on how much taxes they pay. There is a wealthy neighborhood about 3 miles away from where I live that is majority african american. I certainly have no problem with them voting. My hope is that would vote for what is in their best interests, and certainly paying less taxes would be in their best interests. I am really a one issue kind of guy, since that is really the only issue that has any impact on me.

Now you're putting words in my mouth. I said "that COULD make sense"

Give me a break and stop trying to compete with millionaire boy on the idiocy scale. You bypassed my response to that post. Why don't you go back to page 1 and catch up before making a fool of yourself.


I'm outta here anyway. Just being in this thread has made my IQ drop 20 points.

Sounds like she has a good manager. You want to find the stupid people. Just find the people who watch her show, and constantly read about her. Those people should not be allowed to vote. I would trust her to vote correctly, because the people that she pays would probably advise her to vote for the person that would be in her best financial interest, which is really the point of this thread.

There you go, folks. Paris Hilton, who sits on her ass all day living off family wealth that she had absolutely no hand in creating, deserves to vote more than the guy who works 40+ hours a week, supports his family and actually contributes to society, because she can hire people to think for her and tell her who to vote for to make sure that poor working slob never gets a say in his country's future, especially if it might hurt her bottom line in any way. I was correct earlier, you truly do lack critical thinking skills...

She pays more taxes than joe six pack. She pays for the road he drives to work on every day. Joe six pack should wake up everyday thanking us for providing him the ability to get to work on public roads every day.
