Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Amish and Jews for Trump

Nice attempt at sarcasm, but you're really not far from the truth if you want to see this country survive. Otherwise, ypure at the mercy of people who vote for a living rather than work for a living.

You don't buy voting rights. "commensurate" has nothing to do with it. Bezos does not get to vote more than you just because he pays more anymore than an unemployed person gets to vote less than you.

I believe you imagine yourself more important then you are.

Should they be able to vote even?

Where would I even begin? I could give plenty of examples but the crowd on here that visited the Hollywood version of the Amish in tourist traps all over the USA , would tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'll give you one small example. The state I live in has one of the largest amish populations in the country. We also have the highest fuel tax in the country. Part of that tax is supposedly earmarked for state highway maintainence.

The Amish buggies running up and down these state owned roads, causing danger to motorists, and dropping horse [bleep] everywhere, don't pay fuel tax to support those roads.

I'd imagine that if a person calculated what the average resident of this state pays in fuel tax in their lifetime it would be mind boggling. The last time I checked it was something like 55 cents a gallon. Now imagine that total for a lifetime. The Amish do not pay that and gave full use of those roads. That is one elementary example of the bullchit that this cult gets away with.

Go through your list on your own and use some common sense

Your imagination is apparently something to behold cupcake.

I will only speak about the Amish communities I have 40 years of direct experience with, and the Amish i know personally, whose homes I've been in and who have been in my homes. The ones I've done business with and had work done by and the ones I've done work for. The ones who've given me the use of a team when needed and have taken care of my horses, chickens and property when I've been gone for a while and have taught my kids to handle and drive a team and whose property I've always been welcome to hunt:

They work six days a week. They pay property taxes. The don't go to grievance day to try to get their property taxes reduced. The bulk of their property taxes go to fund public schools they don't send their kids to. They build and support their own schools. They don't take government money or assistance in any way, shape or form. They don't vote or register to vote or support any political candidates.

I have, on occasion, heard all kinds of uninformed BS about them as gospel, mostly by people who've never had any direct contact with them, who fear anyone a little different than they, and who spend their afternoons or evenings hanging over a bar with a bunch of other lifelong losers, sucking Coors lite and seeing who can outdo each other with tales of how bad and what a threat to society the Amish are.

What about folks like me? Retired after working since before I had a "paycheck", as in mowing lawns and scheidt so I could buy my own Levi's instead of letting the folks buy my pants at K-Mart or JC Penney's? And I paid taxes on those pants at 14 years old. And every other thing I purchased. Oh, and now I pay taxes on my SS and my retirement income. Is that enough to buy me a vote? And we are in the process of buying our place, only 10 more years to go, maybe less as we pay extra every month.

But, what about the retired folks who don't have enough income to pay income taxes now, especially after figuring in the medical bills. And they don't own property, they rent? Should they get a vote?

The Amish buy gasoline from the same pumps anyone else is allowed to buy it from. I've watched them fill up 3 and 4 five gallon cans and carry it home in their buggies MANY times.

I ride a bicycle 16 miles a day all summer long on a state highway the Amish use and I probably get a lot better look at their Horse ***t droppings than you do. I'll take what they drop in the highway over the hundreds of broken beer and whiskey bottles, car parts, lumber, screws, nails, nuts, bolts, and miscellaneous glass from the rest of the population any day.

Over half the people in this country pay no taxes. Everyone should pay or do community service as possible so they have skin in the game.

I saw a few behind him at one of his PA rallies on TV. I thought they might be "Amish Lite" Mennonites.

So because you're old you should have the right to participate in the political process? What about politicians then than that run of expanding ss and other benefits for seniors? Is that any different than the Dems buying votes with free Obama phones?

Should you have been allowed to vote at 14 because you bought some blue jeans?

It's funny watching you guys heads spin.

Remember I didn't say it was realistic to implement different voting requirements, (although I wouldn't be surprised if the Dems try to do it in the near future, with a far different goal) , but I'll stand by my comment that way too many are voting for a living rather than working for a living.

Every single time. Posters read what they want to, find a way to get pussy hurt and then drip all over the board. Trying to find a reason to take offense, even if they have to stand on one leg, close the opposing eye, and flap their arms like a goony bird to do it.

good grief

And some simply disagree and then are verbally attacked by chickenscchitts hiding behind their keyboards.
