WE WERE SO BEAUTIFUL!

Not every adult U.S. citizen should have the right to vote. Instead, only those who pay taxes to a government should be eligible to vote in that government’s elections. So, for example, under this system, an adult paying sales tax in Rhode Island but no federal taxes would qualify to vote in Rhode Island state elections but not in federal elections. Restricting the right to vote to taxpayers is moral and practical.

After all, what is a vote? A vote is a piece of control over how the government spends taxpayer money. Every government program, every enforced law and every action taken by the government is funded from tax “revenue.” This includes government debt, since it must eventually be repaid, and inflation, since it is a tax on the purchasing power of the dollar. Thus, to function, government takes money from group A and distributes money — in the form of benefits and programs — to group B. Membership in group A and group B may or may not overlap.

Wherein a 20-year-old Ivy Leaguer explains why only people who pay taxes should be allowed to vote. College!

White dudes, SMH.

This is the problem when our society conditions white boys to believe all their opinions are valid, you get assholes like this feeling entitled to espouse voter suppression.

A short list of things that make me want to scream

• Old white women who dismiss my political opinions and statements of FACT because I’m “young” 
• Main Line Republicans

I’m 10 minutes into streaming Paul Ryan’s speech at the RNC and I just can’t deal with this much bullshit all at once.

Why Pennsylvania’s Voter ID Law Is Unconstitutional

In time, Crawford v. Marion County Election Board may come to rank with Bush v. Gore as among the worst recent decisions by the Supreme Court. That case has made possible the ongoing campaign to gut the right to vote.

Crawford is directly responsible for Wednesday’s decision by Pennsylvania state judge Robert Simpson to allow that state’s strict voter ID law to take effect. That law is all but certain to cause chaos at some polling places this fall. It may also, according to some credible estimates, disfranchise as many as 9 percent of the state’s eligible voters. There’s little secret about the purpose of the bill. As the state’s Republican House Majority Leader, Mike Turzai, told a partisan audience in June, it “is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.”

Feminism’s End Game is for All Women to be Fat Sluts

synecdoche:themanwhowasroissy:

Today, the modern feminism movement can be boiled down to one thing: allowing Western women to be fat sluts. They are fighting for the right to look as ghastly as they want while being able to ride one-hundred cocks without being judged.

While old-school feminists like the National Organization of Women (NOW) still have legislative goals in the form of affirmative action and ending sex slavery once and for all, the millennial feminist you know so well—who forms the main readership of a site like Jezebel—is primarily concerned with eliminating fat and slut “shaming.” In other words, they want to fuck whomever they want while being a “healthy weight,” which is enigma code for F-A-T. 

ONLY one-hundred cocks? 

Legit question. I have a girlfriend and that’s not enough cocks for me.

Say What Now of the Day: Asked at a press conference about Pennsylvania’s rendition of the anti-abortion bill that requires women to undergo an ultrasound prior to the termination of a pregnancy, the Keystone State’s Republican governor, Tom Corbett, told a reporter that he didn’t feel the legislation went too far because it “exterior not interior” and he wasn’t making women watch.

“I don’t know how you make anybody watch,” Corbett said. “Because you just have to close your eyes.”

Not surprisingly, this didn’t sit well with Democrats, who slammed Corbett for showing “a lack of understanding of medicine and women’s reproductive health issues.”

“It’s unthinkable that he would so casually dismiss this by advising women to just close their eyes,” said former Pennsylvania congressman Patrick Murphy. “Gov. Corbett’s comments are disturbingly offensive, insensitive and out of touch.”

Some 10 states are currently at varying states of debate over a similar ultrasound bill.

[wgal / think.]

Fuck you, Tom Corbett. GET OUT OF MY STATE.
