To say citizens are dumb because they don't vote the way you think they should or you start thinking that only some should be able to vote is wrong and unconstitutional.
Another one who never bothers to read the posts or the Constitution!

Where does the unconstitutional mime come into play?

BTW: Those on the dole Don't listen and Don't care what the Republicans have to say which if you had bothered to search .. The Republicans have had lots to say .. Just not what you or the give me more crowd wants to hear!

Just another example of the goonish thuggery of our plutocrat Republican lobbyists and their politicians. I'm glad to see the crooks embarrass themselves continuously in front of the whole world.

The quagmire that these wealthy face is that because of the growing wealth disparity of our country, the voting power of the wealthy is falling and the voting power of the poor is rising.

The only thing these wealthy can do is to try to convince the ignorant, against their own self interest, that the wealthy should have more votes.

(The above bolded is my own doing)

Ignorant is key.

Now on to other matters ..

I see that you find it convenient to ignore posts that you find inconvenient to answer.

Should I post it again .. for the third time?

(A Clue: I was responding to you calling someone 'ignorant' of the constitution)

You need the posts #'s?

So what happens when everyone is broke?

What defense?
Borders wide open to an invading country is defense?

Does the constitution say that Congress has the power to Spend and Then Tax the peons?

It is no longer tax and spend.

It has become Spend and then Tax.
(Look at the debt charts)

What is the General Welfare to you?

It isn't the handouts that the democrats use to buy votes with if that is your definition.

General welfare mean for all people, like roads, not a check for a single individual, that would be specific welfare.

I salute you my friend.

I bet though that you will find that most liberals have a different meaning!

You need the posts #'s?
You are stating that the constitution allows for the wealthy to have more votes?
