    That would be 36% ONLY of the blacks who were not terrorized/threatened/intimidated or otherwise prevented from voting.

    So, a completely useless number.

    True. Democrats had a long history of terrorizing, threatening, intimidating black folk. They imposed poll taxes and the like, too.

    Guess who was the president who made this executive order in August 1969:

    He said that the working poor, social security beneficiaries, and welfare mothers, will ALL vote in a bloc for the President of the United States Barrack Hussein Obama.

    Is that true? No.

    Something to consider is that about half the people don't pay taxes. The median income for households was about $50K before Obama took office (now it's ~$45K). So how do you convince someone making $50K and paying no taxes that cutting their taxes even more is going to benefit them?

    EDIT: and I see no mention of the working poor, social security beneficiaries, welfare mothers, etc. in what he said.

    The shot with the farm full of windmills is and example of his understanding. Even better would be a sailboat covered bow to stern with solar panels but still in need of a diesel generator to run the normal electronics.

    I sure hope my fellow Americans wake up! This has to be fixed.

    The "simple" answer is to change the tax code.

    I'm looking deeper into this method. Not saying it's the end-all, but might be a decent (and fair) place to begin(?)

    Yes, FAIR tax is a great proposal. I've made one similar in another thread. Too lazy and busy right now to go search for it.

    Basically flat 24% sales tax with a $4K or $6K per person (man, woman, child) rebate/refund check.

    You just said about half the populations doesn't pay taxes. Pretty dang close to 47%. You don't agree that is who he is talking about?

    I think he said 47% don't pay taxes. He also said Obama starts with 47% of the vote. They're not necessarily the same people. And frankly, a lot of older people, SS types, might vote for him.

    The tax code refunds those state type taxes. I suppose we need to be clear about it. Many of the 47% file and get money back. Not a refund or rebate, but a negative tax. The tax in question is federal income tax.
