[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a reasonably well off Blue State Democrat, meaning that not only do I pay high income taxes but my state is a net payor to the Red States.  So, since Seniors voted for Trump and Republicans, and Republicans want to slash SS and Medicare/Medicaid, lets do it. My reduced taxes mean I win.  Lets give our Seniors what they apparently want.  I will be enjoying another bottle of some overpriced wine. [/quote]
since you pay more in taxes, you're vote counts more than a poor person living in a red state?[/quote]

No, apparently the vote of the poor person in the red state counts more. That's how we got Trump. [/quote]

Right.  Do the math, dummies.  They've capped our representatives in Congress at 535 regardless of population, and each state gets two senators and at least one representative.  That means that people in states the size of DC get more power for their vote than states with growing populations like California where their members in the House represent 3-4 times as many people as those who represent Wyoming or Montana.  How, exactly, is that fair and how does this fact support your argument?

It doesn't.  You are a dumbass who can't figure out sarcasm.  [/quote]
