“Thanks to guys like Boss Tweed, famous for saying, 'I don't give a damn who does the voting, as long as I do the nominating,' there hasn't been an honest election in the USA since sometime around the War Between the States.” GivingLongDoeWarStatesGuyHonestElectionThanksDamnUsaVotingBossDon't Give A DamnI Don't Give A DamnTweedNominating Author:L.

“It is a truism, of course, that in "democratic" states the populace must be encouraged to imagine that it makes important decisions by voting, and must therefore be controlled by suitable propaganda, which implants ideas to which the voters respond as automatically as trained animals respond to words of command in a circus, thus leaving to the masses only a factitious choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee on the basis of their preference for a certain kind of oratory, a hair-style, or a particular facial expression.” KindImportantIdeasStatesCertainChoicesCoursesDecisionAnimalImagineStyleParticularExpressionHairMassBasesDemocraticLeavingCommandPropagandaVotingControlledVotersImagine ThatPreferenceCircusSuitableFacialOratoryBe EncouragedImportant DecisionsImplantsTruismFacial Expression Author:Revilo P.

“By the standards of honest, if unorthodox, accounting, government workers don't pay taxes, but are paid out of taxes. In other words, they pay taxes out of money confiscated from taxpayers, who, in turn, pay taxes twice: on their own income and on the income of members of the bureaucracy. At the very least, this should disqualify state workers from voting.” IfsShouldStatesGovernmentTurnsPayHonestTaxesMembersStandardsPaidWorkersIncomeVotingBureaucracyTaxpayersAccountingUnorthodoxGovernment Workers Author:Ilana Mercer
