Sanders Supporter Cries About Trump Voter Disagreeing With Her

She has her future at stake. That's not enough "skin" for you? Is it only about money? Money can be replaced more easily than time and opportunity lost. Since she is younger than you and Scat and therefore has longer to live, she arguably has more skin in the game than either of you.

No, it's not enough for me. People with no experience in life, and who do not pay into the system should not have the same say as those whose blood, sweat and tears drive the system.

Right. So how many more votes than you should Soros have? It's all relative, right?

the irony is that those problems are being caused by the democrat party and the establishment republicans. your team gets the votes of those with no skin in the game by offering the free ice cream paid for disproportionately by those with skin in the game instead of the elites who own your party.

And, in a society becoming increasingly stratified, where returns to capital are outpacing returns to labor, and where socioeconomic mobility has declined, the rule of "having skin in the game" to vote is increasingly unfair. Which is probably why it was abandoned in the first place.

No, those problem are being caused solely by reps. Which is why we don't call them "socialists".
 
What is it with these socialists that they consider everyone who doesn't agree with them not to be a human being? Can some of the resident socialists explain that?

It's not about how much you contribute to the system, but whether you do or don't. That means someone paying $10 in taxes a year gets the same say as someone paying $100000.

But I'd be fine if Soros had a considerably larger say than I. Because then so would the Koch brothers.

On the surface, I kind of like the notion of "one vote for every $ one pays in federal income tax". That way, those who contributed the most to paying the freight would have the most say.

I'd like to hear the arguments of why that's a bad idea (if it is, of course).
