Damn and they vote. And I thought dirt was dumb.
80 MPH - An Extremely Simple Logic Exercise
And this, my Friends, is exactly why Obama got elected. (twice)
I think their using common core to figure that one out.
They probably never been 80 miles away from home and have no frame of reference.
The guy in the hat has an excuse...he's high. The other one is just plain dumb.
But guess what? Their vote counts just as much as yours does!!!
WW. Should it count less?
Lots of ignorant white people too. I unfortunately have an extended family of them
"Should it count less?"
No....I never said that. I was just stating a real (and scarey) fact. And my comment applies to WHITE people as well as black or brown. Truth be told, it's worse with white people because there's more of 'em!
RK,
I would keep a close eye on the leaves on that tree.

WW. Just wondering. Was not accusing
Your question made me think a bit RK. What might be a good idea is that maybe the only people who should be able to vote for property tax increases are PROPERTY OWNERS!
And the only people who can vote for personal income tax hikes are people who actually have to PAY income taxes. If you don't earn enough to pay taxes or if you get money from the government which you DIDN'T have to pay into then maybe you should not vote to increase it because YOU HAVE NO SKIN IN THE GAME.
WW, remember that the founders only allowed male property owners to vote. What a difference that would make.
WW. Should it count less? RK im beginning to think so. There should be a competency test to vote! If you can't figure out it takes an Hr. to go 80 miles at 80 mph you can't make a voting decision!
One difference was that in the 1700's, the really stupid died of natural consequences. Now the government keeps them going.
"....or if you get money from the government which you DIDN'T have to pay into then maybe you should not vote to increase it because YOU HAVE NO SKIN IN THE GAME."
It wouldn't apply to vets because no one's "paid" more into the system than they have.
I'm specifically talking about able bodied people who just take from the government and pay nothing in. They don't care what the tax burden is because they have none!!!
Same thing with people who don't own or pay property taxes being able to vote to increase them. Why wouldn't they? It won't cost them a damn dime!
I saw an earlier version of that clip in which the subjects where white folks. It was a young man and his wife. The man asked the woman the same question and she tried her hardest not only to answer, incorrectly, but to illustrate the logic? behind her conclusion. It amazes me on a daily basis the very lack of basic knowledge some people posses.
