This is why I never supported felons losing their right to vote. If they’ve served their nickel, give them the vote back. Otherwise, if they get a job and put 30% of their paycheck to paying taxes, then they’re being taxed without representation.
Not only that, but losing voting rights wasn’t part of the sentence. If they want to take away rights (even in jail), it should be a part of the sentence, not something shoehorned in quietly.
I hate to break it to you but you pay far more than 30% of your money in taxes.
You don’t know that. They might be very rich.
True
I agree, but it’s lesser to me than the means of disenfranchisement. If felons can’t vote and using cannabis is a felony then the deck is actively stacked against changing that law. And it gets darker when things like sodomy are felonies and with laws like tough on crime laws or prison reform. Felons are the people most severely impacted by the law
For a while there, this phrase was on stickers that people could put on their plates (IIRC). At some point, the city council and DMV got involved and just printed the motto/complaint right on the plates.
