"...tax on income should be abolished altogether for US born citizens and replaced with a consumption tax on all foreign manufactured goods purchases."
Good luck with finding - tax-free - LCD/plasma TVs, DVD/Blu-Ray players/recorders, audio systems/media players, computers, cars, electrical items etc, which say on such (including all their components): 'Made in USA'.
Because in all the time I've handled mobos/CPUs/RAM/HDs/Optical drives/Graphics & Sound Cards etc, have I ever seen 'Made in USA' on such.
Indeed, the only things I've seen with 'Made in USA' on them were Harley-Davidson motorbikes. And where, pray, are you going to have your home-made items? Because there's precious little indusrial production in your country, that's for sure.
Y'see, your companies (and their precious shareholders) in their lust for more & more profits, require cheaper production. So where does that leave them, to maintain profit levels? Outside the USA. Yeah. That's showing loyalty to your country.
Outsourcing: The American Way.
I'd bet pounds to poodle poo, that your computer doesn't have a single US-made component in it. TRAITOR!
"As for voting, that privilege should be reserved for property owners with no criminal record that can pass a rigorous Constitutional exam, speak good English and provide three forms of ID including original birth certificate, valid drivers license and biometric (fingerprint, DNA and iris scan) identification."
If you're going to be that exacting & pedantic about the language used in your country, then as a British citizen, cop for this concept: You can't even spell 'Colour', 'Favour', 'Honour', 'Flavour', 'Armour' etc properly. Now go and deport yourselves, Freak Cuntservatives. All of you.
"I would argue that head of households should additionally be able to pass a basic firearms safety test and score at least 85 on a shooting range evaluation before being allowed to vote."
I would argue that all right-wing Fundamentalist Christians in the US shouldn't be allowed to vote, own a gun, or even breed, until they become Left-wing, Liberal Atheists.
...what's that? Sounds too extreme, too Fascistic? Well, now you know how you and your ilk sound to everyone else.
...oh, and remember a little something in your own (albeit short) history, called the 'Boston Tea Party'? No taxation, without representation, and all that jazz?
Yet, you wonder why I, a British, Left-wing Atheist, say that you & your vile right-wing fundie ilk in the US should never be allowed to vote, breed - or own a gun? Now, why is it you oppose Iran's own nuclear ambitions, again...?
