Economic Slavery
Voting should not be a God-given right, but a privilege that is earned. That is why I think we should impose the 3/5 law on people that make less than $20,000 a year. Think about it, people, who make less than $20,000 dollars a year, are nothing but a burden on society. They don’t really pay taxes; I mean the government might take a small amount of money out of their paycheck monthly, but they get it all back at the end of the year. They usually don’t have health care and depend on Medicare and Medical, all at the expense of the American taxpayer. To think economic expansion starts from the bottom-up is an absolutely ridiculous thought. Has a poor person ever given you job? You can think about this as much as you want, but the answer is “NO!” Economic Expansion happens when a person with money comes up with an idea and starts a company, which in turn, employs people. What a crazy idea? I am a firm believer in Democracy; however, a wise person once said, “Democracy will fail when the people learn they can vote themselves money.”, and that is exactly what has happened. I’m sure that the tax break that President Obama proposes for 95% of the American public will make a big difference. How does giving an extra 300 dollars to poor people help stimulate the economy? It’s not like people, who make $20,000 dollars a year, invest the economy, the only thing they invest in is Double Cheeseburgers from the McDonalds dollar menu. People might read this and think I am horrible person, but why is it ok in today’s society to vilify the rich and not the poor? Just because they have pursued the American Dream and have capitalized on Capitalism, God Forbid you make money! I am not a hypocrite; I practice what I preach. There is a reason why I don’t vote, and it’s because I haven’t earned the right either. Plus, I live in California, and my vote wouldn’t make a difference anyway.
