As Denizens, your homework assignment for today is to read this treatise from Cortillaen.

One hellacious idea – those suckling from the government teat lose the right to vote.

As Cortillaen himself stated in this comment on the Rott:

In one fell swoop, the statists would find themselves forced to argue their ideas on the merits instead of bribing a bloc of their voters, and that is an argument the statists would lose.

One response to “On the government dole? Off the voter rolls”

  1. As nice a thought as this is, it has about as much of a chance of happening as Congress approving a PAY CUT for themselves to $1 a year. Although if it’s good enough for a CEO it damn sure is good enough for Congress.

    What’s really needed is an amendment to the Constitution bringing about term limits for the US Congress. Something that is brought about by the States in order to return to them what was originally theirs. To the extent of ONE four-year term for BOTH House and Senate. And return the Senators to being elected by the State legislatures. And while you’re at it, reform campaign finance to ELIMINATE soft money donations. PERIOD. End of paragraph.

    Radical, you bet. But if the US of A is to survive as a nation-state another 200+ years these are the kinds of things that will have to happen. That or else we can all watch Revelations start to unfold more and more sustinctly (although the Generalette and I will not be sticking around for that tribulation stuff, just an FYI).

    You decide.

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
