The president of a liberal group behind a taxpayer-funded voter registration push targeting welfare recipients fended off U.S. Sen.

Seems reasonable to me. All they do is vote themselves more taxpayer-funded benefits, anyway.

It figures that democraps are pushing this.

And no surprise to find out that Liz Warren's (Faux-Ca-Hontas') daughter is just as brazen as her mother.

I like the idea in theory, until I imagine welfare slugs like Auntie Zeituni dragging down our all-volunteer force, currently the best on the planet.

Debate question for Squaw Warren:

Did either of your adult children use the Native American designation for preferential treatment for college admission, scholarships, or job applications? And are you willing to provide documents to back that up?

I’ve always maintained that the franchise should be tied to the income tax, i.e., if you don’t pay any income tax you don’t get to vote. When you start paying, you get your voting privilege restored.

I know this is a pipe dream, but it would be more effective than anything else at putting the country back on track.

Yep....it’s sort of like sitting in the stands at one of those poker tournaments and rushing down to grab the pot screaming, “I’ve got five aces!”
If you don’t have a stake in the game, don’t be grabbing for the pot.

No representation without taxation.
