We have far too many foolish people who do not understand how our government works, and they are afraid of our government.

    Too many people fear our government when they should actually be focusing their disgust on the big money influence in government that causes virtually all of our problems.

    Fear mongers catalyze fear of our government to get people to vote against their own better interest.

    We don't want fewer regulations!

    What we need is more effective BETTER regulations.

    Capitalists. Greedy owners of large capital are the ones who want fewer regulations. They care more about making more profits than they do about the environment, worker rights or product safety. Greedy capitalists spend huge amounts of money influencing our government. Take a wild guess why.

    No problem. Take that away from the States. Have a national voter verification system.

    Hello Checkerboard Strangler,

    I guess what I am getting at is the fact that I am aware that certain power brokers DON'T WANT to enable voters, quite the opposite.
    Here's a particularly poisonous clip that speaks to the very issues I am talking about.

    Very telling video. Keep people uneducated, misinformed, uninformed, in the dark, and not voting, and you can control them better. The Republican mantra.

    Good idea. Tagging voter registration to social security numbers will also help prevent that mythological bugaboo of the right -- illegals voting.

    What, and take away all the Republican voter suppression tricks? Of COURSE you wouldn't support that. Your reply was entirely predictable.

    Conservatives and their mythical voting illegals. It's an explanation looking for a problem.

    The only thing your wild unsupported beliefs are missing is any factual evidence whatsoever.

    Perhaps you could begin by finding the results of President Trump's voter fraud commission?

    Have those results been made public yet???



    (Trump's voter fraud commission was embarrassingly disbanded in a vacuum on 1-3-2018 after finding nothing, absolutely NOTHING!)
