The return of the Poll Tax

[Indeependent]

The expected nonsense from the same old same old.

So stop mumbling to yourself.

You can't play me wb. You know I'm talking directly to you.

You do realize that every Black person I show your posts to thinks you’re an asshole.
Wake up and get a real job.

The Return of the Poll Tax in Florida
By The Editorial Board

A Republican proposal would condition the right to vote on the payment of all outstanding court fines and fees.

Florida voters approved a ballot measure in November to restore voting rights to up to 1.4 million people with felony convictions who have served their sentences and thus paid their debt to society. The passage of Amendment 4, which went into effect in January, righted 150 years of injustice.

But Republican lawmakers in the state immediately went to work to undermine that progress. On March 19, a state House panel on criminal justice approved, along party lines, a measure that would erect new roadblocks for the Floridians who just regained the right to vote.

The new proposal would require those who want their voting rights restored to first pay all outstanding court fees and costs arising from their prior convictions — a move that one Democratic lawmaker denounced as an unconstitutional poll tax.

Under Amendment 4, “any disqualification from voting arising from a felony conviction shall terminate and voting rights shall be restored upon completion of all terms of sentence including parole or probation.”

But Florida Republicans want “completion” of a sentence to include “a financial obligation arising from a felony conviction” — such as the court costs and fines that Florida is notorious for imposing on top of criminal sentences. This would, in effect, suppress the votes of people who are too poor to pay.

You do your best to try to leave out the fact this bill is meant to target the FELONS Socialist Democrats have given back the right to vote (in an attempt to gain their vote).

Illegals, felons...I am just waiting for the Libs' bill emancipating pets - giving them full rights as was done with illegals - to include the right to vote ... Soon followed by a bill allowing DEAD PEOPLE to vote (allowing 'next of kin' / friends to cast a vote the deceased would have if they were alive).

This way, their decades of illegals, felons, dead people, and pets voting will finally be legal..

I have ALWAYS had a problem with the phrase, "Paid his debt to society'' because -- It's bullshit.

How do you UN-BREAK A LAW? How do you UN-MURDER someone? How do you UN-ROB a Bank??

All an ex-con has done is served his time. That POS has NOT repaid anything. He has actually COST us money to incarcerate.his sorry ass.

The ONLY reason that this is an issue is that dimocrap FILTH think they can pick up a few million votes from scum of the Earth criminals. Since virtually all criminals are dimocrap scum, they would be correct.

That's all that's going on here, people. dimocrap FILTH are trying to steal some votes.

People who have lost their PRIVILEGE to vote (it is NOT a right, it is a privilege) need to be judged on a one-at-a-time basis. And the bar needs to be set high.

We are NOT a democracy. No democracy has ever worked or survived. We are a REPUBLIC.

Republics have a rules. And one of them is -- Voting is a privilege, NOT a right.

Criminals should be forced to work to offset the cost of housing and feeding their sorry asses. The number of incarcerated would drop dramatically. The reason they're criminals is they don't want to work.

Most criminals are Democrats and it's no mystery to anyone with a brain why Democrats are hell bent on giving criminals voting rights. Same thing with getting illegal aliens here to drop anchor babies as fast as they can. VOTES

The leader of the republican party is a criminal and you say this. LOL!

Everybody has a right to representation in this country, even the ignorant and the stupid, which I would argue is most people in this country.

And that is not a poll tax. A poll tax is a tax on a person for simply existing.

I know what a poll tax is. My parents and grandparents faced them. This is a poll tax.

even foreign nationals who come and go unchecked and unregulated at will. Democrats care more about foreign nationals than Americans. They step over tent cities full of needy homeless Americans to help needy homeless foreign nationals at the needy homeless Americans expense.

Wrong.

Democrats think everyone here should vote. That's why they are for open borders and promise foreign nationals healthcare and welfare paid for by Americans.

I am in favor of felons regaining their voting rights after they have repaid their societal debt. Those debts may include time served as well monetary cost such as fees and fines. The debt is not fully repaid until the monetary shortages are cleared.

I still remember Jesse Jackson leading the mob who chanted "hey ho, hey ho, western civ has got to go" demanding an end to our civilization in California 30 years ago.

Can you imagine the uproar if a crowd demanded an end to islamic civilization in the same way?
