Voter Suppression = Taxation Without Representation

Perry, Abbott, McCrory, Walker, Scott and others want to create a permanent non-voting class of Americans. Americans who are expected to pay taxes, but to have no say in how the government uses those taxes. This includes African Americans, students, the elderly, women....and in the case of Texas they have admitted to preventing Democrats from voting. They want all of these people to have no say in how the country/state/county/city is run or who it is run by. The GOP is operating as a voting death panel.

Pay your taxes but never vote.

Isn't that Taxation without Representation?

I say it's time for legislation that says if your vote is suppressed - you don't have to pay any taxes.

1. I like this frame....

Now the left can have its own Tea Party. I'm sure the media will swarm all over that!!!

2. It's worse than that, actually.

Remember that the number of representatives in congress are decided based on census data, not the number of voters. This means that if you have a large disenfranchised population, the votes of a few people (who are presumably keeping their neighbors from voting) count for more than those of people who live in areas with higher participation.

5. I'm starting to think we need a national I.D. card

One that's available to every citizen in the country free of charge and easy to obtain. It would stop these voter suppression tricks some states/counties are trying to pull
