RE: Naming and Shaming People That Do Not Vote

in #politics7 years ago

We are a Republic, not a democracy.
You equate voting with fixing the problems facing our nation. Our entire election process has been co-opted and corrupted. The only thing that would come of identifying voters is the IRS would become the attack dog to sick on everyone who did not vote for you... like they did to the "Tea Party" Republicans under Obama.
We did politics, all the way to be delegates at the national convention. We are not going to vote our way out of this mess, self governance is the only way forward. Globally applied eventually, but the US must lead the way.

Sort:  

Isn't self governance achieved by voting? The goal of the IRS is to collect taxes. The IRS would not know who people voted for as this information is private. It is only whether or not someone voted that I am talking about. But I agree that our system has been corrupted - this has to do with the 'no hold barred' approach our Congress, state legislatures and Supreme Court have taken with respect to money in politics (largely in my view to benefit the status quo ruling elite).

Self governance by voting? No. Who all is to vote on whether or not you run the stop sign?
Self governance is what you do ALL THE TIME. You simply cling to the delusion that everyone else is obeying laws when in fact, they are all also self governing. Did you murder anyone today? Did you need us all to vote to tell you not to murder? Did you need a law telling you not to murder? Did you not murder because there was a law telling you not to? Did you not murder because we all voted and said you ought not murder?
Have you ever read "The Creature From Jekyll Island" by G Edward Griffin? It could help you recover from your indoctrination if you understood what the IRS REALLY is and what "government" you are actually voting for.

Not sure I follow, but thanks for the book recommendation

I do not know you, have not followed you, but I am now. Let me back up a little. The path to your highest self involves unlearning as much as it involves learning. If you are truly willing to invest time and energy into understanding these concepts, you are a rare human and I am a "hunter" of rare humans. I want them for friends and allies. You watch these videos as soon as you have the chance, and if you still do not understand what I am talking about let me know. This is a very important concept. I am going to post three videos here, if you make it through them all and want to discuss anything, I would LOVE to chat more.

This is the "in a nutshell" version of what I am trying to say...
