    If poor people really do want nothing more than to take as much money and services from richer people as possible, what he is saying makes sense.

    Makes perfect sense to me. I mean, Rome didn't let the poor vote. We want to be like Rome, right?

    Oh man, I thought people like this only existed in shitty doorstopper novels written by rabid egomaniacs.

    VV Point still stands.

    Late Update: Responding to what he says are misrepresentations of his view, Vadum writes that of course he thinks poor people have the right to vote, he just doesn't want anybody to help them since their votes "could lead to the destruction of the republic."

    ^^^ We get that. The wording however is COMPLETELY bizarre and makes me, at least, wonder how truthful his backtracking really is

    Cygan, I'm genuinely curious as to the point you're trying to make.

    I think he is implying that poor people are Darth Vader D:

    Man, Republicans think I'm cooler than I actually am.

    What's he's saying is what Cygan quoted.

    Conservatives usually think that the left uses its like of social programs like welfare to "buy" the votes of the poorer classes that benefit the most from those social programs.

    Whether or not this is true....that's the question (who wouldn't vote for the party that keeps you afloat?)

    But if  we help poor people... they won't be poor anymore, which means we' won't have any more poor people to try and destroy the republic....

    So... we should give Darth Vader our money?
  • MalkavianMalkavian

    I'm poor, ergo I am Darth Vader.

    I will gladly take your money then use it to move and get a job.

    Apparently a good number of these people actually believe that the poor people remain poor because they can get handouts, and the only way they'll stop being poor is if you...uh...I really don't know how to come up with a good analogy for this...kick them out of poverty or something.

    It's more a "MAKE BUSINESS, GET RICH"

    Which only happens to like 1% of the people who make businesses

    "Despite what is commonly thought, relatively few small businesses fail. Over the 2 year period 1994-95 and 1995-96, an average of 23 200 small businesses or 6.1% ceased operating in Australia. Less than 10% of these closures were due to bankruptcy proceedings (in the case of unincorporated businesses) or companies being liquidated. The other businesses closed down for reasons such as the owner retiring, seeking a different lifestyle or dying.

    The failure of Australian businesses fell significantly during the 1990's. It is estimated in 1999-2000, there were 3.6 failures per 1000 enterprises."

    Because I totally have the capital to start a business of any sort.

    Go sell cheap used electronics in a seedy part of town or park domain names or something.

    While most small businesses manage to stay afloat, that's not quite the same as being rich.
