Why This Election Could Be the Most Important Since the US Civil War

Nobody, except for a few libertarians and conservatives, are countering the purposefully destructive ideas AOC represents. And they have a very limited audience and not much of a platform. Arguing for sound money and limited government makes them seem like Old Testament prophets. Collectivism and statism are overwhelming the values of individualism and liberty.

It’s exactly the type of thing the Founders tried to guard against by restricting the vote to property owners over 21, going through the Electoral College. Now, welfare recipients who are only 18 can vote, and the Electoral College is toothless.
If you must have voting, it should only be for people 25 or over, who own a certain amount of property, so they have something to lose in the system. Most important, the government should have zero involvement in the economy.

    What would happen ..? Jails, justice, police would collapse from overload.

    Who was it in Atlas Shrugged who explained that laws are not intended to be enforced? Selective enforcement is a suppression tool.

    eg. Fines, threat of jail for breaking hard-lockdown.
    But no problem if part of a blm riot.

    I wonder what would happen if laws were enforced. You know like campaign finance laws or you have to have legitimate proof you are a citizen. Or you can’t fraudulently become a citizen.
    Or you can’t receive campaign money from foreigners by laundering it threw BLM.
    The bastards cheat and cheat and cheat with no consequences. Heavy heavy fines and jail time to deter these criminal actions.

    I've long felt that only net tax payers should vote. Net receivers are only motivated to put more money in their pockets. This goes for corporate welfare recipients, subsidy recipients as well as what we commonly consider "welfare" recipients.

    Not only should you NOT vote unless you pay taxes on your propery and are over the age of 21/25, unless you are in the military but We Need to cull the dependent voter of the cities...I suggest that the 3/5 law apply to all cities...it's the only way I see to even out the power of the people.
    The last several election, we have seen what is really happening, there are more people in the cities that are dependent upon government, dependent upon all authority and as a result, have little authority themselves. That results into voting for more government instead of more freedom.
    It's something to think about...

    I'd go further still. Paying taxes by individuals means paying taxes on assets (e.g. land, house, shares, etc), not on "income". (Taxes on income of individuals are theft, are unconstitutional, and must be abolished forever.) There is no "income" when an individual freely exchanges his labor for any form of payment; it is a fair exchange of equal value and there is no "profit" or "income." If you ask the IRS to define income for individuals and to quote the law that makes individuals liable for tax on income, they can not do so. They have repeatedly been asked and have never provided the law to incur the liability. They will send armed officers to collect/steal from you using force if you do not pay, but it is neither lawful or constitutional.

    Thanks for sharing and yes this election is possibly do or die for the US. I don’t know who this Doug Casey is but I did not learn anything from his article. Just because Trump doesn’t share his principles does not mean he doesn’t have any.
    Trump is attempting to take down the corrupt deep state. All the while guys like Casey who portends to be anti-socialism and for individual rights fawn over the actress AOC and slam Trump.
