    That's a pretty good summary of where we are now, tell the truth, get punished.

    Raise the payroll tax to a real tax, like 10% and qualify that way too (with a minimum contribution). Should be multiple ways of earning the privilege.

    Make it a $500 deposit that you get back after filing your tax return.

    My idea is that everyone needs at least a little skin in the game, even if its only a small amount -- the hope being that they would pay a little more attention and care a little more.

    The 24th Amendment states that no one can be denied the right to vote in any federal election "by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax." All of these proposals are out of the question.

    Can be handled thru Tax Code "Everyone who must file must pay at least $100"

    My next idea is an IQ test
    Which would also be used for rights to drive and procreate.

    Meh...call it something OTHER than a tax and make it fly. Hell, it worked (in theory) for the Obummercare nonsense since the feds got away with assessing a fee for those who didn't buy one of the crappy crap crap offerings...that got declared as something other than a tax as I recall.

    LH thinks it's too oppressive to require an ID to vote so he sure doesn't believe those poor minorities should be required to produce anything. That's just too hard. Now for white America it's a different story.

    I am guilty in that my children go to public schools. But I don't like them. They fail on many levels education, discipline, safety. I live in the suburbs so the schools are still okay but this government and specifically Progressive propoganda is something I am keeping my eye on. My Freshman in high school told me her tranny geography teacher has already told their class she is going to vote for Bernie and made a disparaging comment about capitalism.

    Does anyone think it is ok for a teacher to politic in classrooms?

    They do it all the time, and it is built into the curriculum.

    I've eaten all kinds of sandwiches at Chick-fil-A. I've even eaten breakfast there. I don't hate it. As I said, it's OK. I just don't get all the hubbub about it and if there's a line, I'm moving on to someplace else.

    World geography is essentially social studies, not just about land formations. They talk about the people and cultures of places on the map.

    Serious question dont people who get social security pay taxes on it?
    Or on pensions from companies they retired from?

    I'm one of those geezers. I have two pensions and our two Social Security checks, plus the RMDs that I must take on my IRA. I only wish I didn't have to pay income tax on those sources - but Uncle Sam gets his fair share from me. And my other retiree friends are in the same boat.

    How Is Social Security Taxed? - NerdWallet

    Apparently it is highly dependent on how much other income you make. For example delaying SS not only increases your paycheck but it decreases your taxes as you use less other income from retirement accounts. As that article shows, it’s a weird result that you can only understand if you do the worksheets by hand.

    Finally something - that hopefully resembles justice - ive lost track of how many people have died in or around this guy's house -- I guess someone in the govt in that state finally said "OK, that's enough"
    Wonder if the MSM will mention this or Buck's close ties Adam Schiff and other Dems?

    Ever wonder how Ed Buck managed to avoid a lengthy prison sentence for so long? Same way that Jeff Epstein did. Check out a list of politicians receiving the maximum contributions from Buck (who was just arrested for allegedly running a drug den in exchange for participation in his sexual fetishes). And you already know which political party controls all things California. Wonder if he will be on the same suicide watch Epstein was?

    Speaking of taxes, ~6M people are now off food stamps. This creates savings -- example, if we assume the average recipients gets $100/month, then that is $600,000,000/month less in food stamps or over $7B annually. And, if off food stamps due to entering the workforce, then they are also probably paying taxes.

    It's a win-win (except for Dem politicians who desperately need persons of voting age dependent upon the Govt)

    There are SOME retirement plans out there that were funded with post-tax income...that changed somewhere around 1988 or 1989 as I recall. I was working with the State when that came about...and I always had the two different lines on the ERS annual statement.

    I've not asked mom what she gets taxed on but I know she has both the SSI and the pension benefits from Dad's 40 years with Exxon. She also has had to start with the RMD's although I know she has taxes pulled from those before the check is cut.

    So...there may be a number who paid taxes through the year but won't have to pay more come April 15, which leads to the notion that the olds aren't paying taxes.

    Why can't people just follow their doctor's prescription and take the proper dose of methamphetamines?
