John Adams in 1776 His arguments against giving women, children, and poor men the right to vote: "But why exclude Women? You will say, because their delicacy renders them unfit for practice and experience, in the great business of life, and the hardy enterprizes of war, as well as the arduous cares of State. Besides, their attention is so much engaged with the necessary nurture of their children, that nature has made them fittest for domestic cares. But will not these reasons apply to others? Is it not equally true, that men in general in every society, who are wholly destitute of property, are also too little acquainted with public affairs to form a right judgment, and too dependent upon other men to have a will of their own? If this is a fact, if you give to every man, who has no property, a vote, will you not make a fine encouraging provision for corruption? There will be no end of it. New claims will arise. Women will demand a vote. Lads from 12 to 21 will think their rights not enough attended to, and every man, who has not a farthing, will demand an equal voice with any other in all acts of State."

Letting everyone vote was a deadly mistake… Many of the Founding Fathers warned against mass democracy. The uninformed masses and hordes of migrants simply vote for more benefits from the state. Several Western nations are now headed toward fiscal collapse, led by France.

When the US was founded voting was limited to white men age 21 or older who owned property or paid certain taxes.

The despair of a Parisian - pleading with the feral smooth brains not to destroy her store The death rattle of Paris as western civ breathes its last gasps. Notre Dame was no accident. It was the beginning of the end.

@Sharkyl You're are so fixated on him. I find that a fascinating phenomenon. What are you going to focus on in 2 years? You'll have to recondition your brain to make the next R president (if there is one) evil and incompetent. That's not much time!

@Sharkyl You advocate the government taking money from earners and giving it to auto companies. (You've said that in this thread.) That is welfare. Welfare is unearned money given to individuals,orgs, countries, or companies.

@Sharkyl @baseballcrank @AndrewCMcCarthy Sorry I don't know about that issue. Unlike seemingly everyone else on X, I don't become an expert on every issue that gets national media attention.

There is no such thing as a "slow metabolism" or "fast metabolism". It's ALL driven by immutable laws of physics which are the same for everyone.

@Sharkyl You're for car welfare right? That's why you advocated for Tesla. Boo! Welfare sux. Let freedom reign. Let people keep their money and make their own decisions.

@Sharkyl Maybe others have the same analysis you do? Yet you think they should be choosing EVs. This is where I disagree with those on the left who want to tell others how to live and they don't even do it themselves.

Remember for the government to do anything momentarily, they must take the money from its citizens - depriving them of the opportunity to make decisions they think are best. It's arrogant to think that government makes better choices spending money than those that earned the money. Look at your situation: it seems that you were on the EV task Force making recommendations that others should get an EV and you don't even own an EV yourself. (I'm assuming this because you wont say you own one. Correct me if I'm wrong.) Don't you think those on an EV task Force should own an EV?

I was aware of that. Just because it worked out doesn't mean the government should be loaning money. Remember Solyndra? $500 million GONE. It is speculation that "Tesla would be out of business". Elon talks about running out of money several times with several of his business. He would likely have done a way even without government loan. You never answered the question. Do you have an EV? If you were part government EV committee, it seems like you should have one. Does your van renewal business rent EVs?

There is nothing as permanent as a temporary government program. Example 001: The income tax arrived in 1913 with a promise: temporary, modest, and aimed only at the very rich. The top rate sat at 7 percent on incomes above $500,000 (roughly $15 million today). Congress sold it as a surgical instrument to tax the rich. It became a chainsaw aimed at the middle class. Within five years, wartime spending pushed the top rate to 77 percent. The "temporary" emergency became the permanent architecture of American fiscal life. Politicians discovered something intoxicating: taxing income is far easier than taxing visible property, because the government intercepts your earnings before you ever touch them. Withholding, introduced in 1943, perfected this sleight of hand. You never possessed the money, so you never felt its full absence. Today the federal government collects $2.5 trillion annually through individual income taxes. The code runs to over 70,000 pages. Compliance costs Americans approximately $400 billion per year in accounting fees and lost productivity, producing nothing, building nothing, feeding no one. Every dollar seized through taxation is a dollar diverted from capital formation, from investment decisions made by people with actual skin in the game, toward decisions made by politicians managing election cycles. Mises identified the calculation problem: the state has no price signals to guide spending, so it wastes on a structural scale no private actor could sustain.

@Sharkyl The government should have zero role in deciding what type of car people buy. Let the free market decide. Those with best features and price will prevail. No need to spend tax money on it.

@Sharkyl If EVs make sense, then the government won't need to have a task force to spend tax money pushing them onto people. Do you have any EVs? I know you have a rental van business. Are any of those EVs?
