    The same? One side is trying to subvert democracy and one side isn’t. There is no equivalencies here. Nice try

    Have you ever considered that you are an ill-informed voter?

    Warning sign for the GOP: the white power party has lost the white power forward vote.

    Not paid taxes?

    Everybody pays taxes somewhat so you are being very broad.

    So Trump has not paid "Taxes" for a lot of years should he not be able to vote?

    Actually I have no problem with him not being allowed to vote if he has manipulated his accounting to avoid taxes.

    you miss the spirit of my radical thought. The spirit of it was simply if you simply don’t want to work and just live off of the government then you should not be allowed to vote.

    People who do not work and do not contribute to the treasury the way that those of us who do work contributes will never vote for a candidate that threatens to remove or reduce those payments. I personally think that is wrong. That means my hard earned money will continue to be syphoned off to take care of people who are willingly choosing not to work and simply exist off the government. Yea maybe that is too general. The disabled, the mentally unhealthy and so on. That is different. I am talking about the lazy waste of space who holds a job long enough to qualify for unemployment and then leaves that job to collect. Those kinds of people.

    That is just one element of many where you and I most likely disagree. So be it. We are allowed to disagree.

    What is working age? I retired at 59. What about women (or men) who stay home to take care of the kids?
