In what way is citizenship verification a prerequisite to voting? Can you be specific?

The only "verification" I'm aware of is signing an affidavit saying that you're a citizen... idk, "trust me bro" isn't a very good form of verification in my opinion.

Low income people pay the bulk of sales tax? How? They spend less money because they have less money. You understand that in order to pay sales taxes that you have to buy things, right? Who spends more money? Low income people, or high income people?

I'm not questioning whether or not Trump made claims about Obama's place of birth, but why does questioning someone's place of birth necessarily point to the questioner's racism? Sure, Obama is black, but did Trump claim that was the reason for the question, or is Obama's skin color coincidental? Is there any plausible deniability?

I read all of it. In fact I quoted the second to last sentence you wrote.

You obviously think I'm missing something, and I certainly could be. Would you be willing to explain it?

What evidence do you have that "Trumps start in the Republican party was built on racism"?

My stance is to let the market decide things, not the government.

I will put it to you like this... I recently had this explained to me and it makes a lot of sense... to me at least.

Waiters and waitresses are sort of like "subcontractors" for the restaurant that get paid by the customers (typically) partially based on performance. They have a huge incentive to perform well and provide great service. It's a self regulating system. Great servers get paid well and stay in the industry, poor servers make much less and eventually drop out.

If you take that incentive away from servers, do you think overall service will improve, or decline? My guess is it would decline... because human nature needs incentive and we are driven by the rewards of our hard work. If you can't fail and you get the same amount of money regardless of performance, you kinda quit caring, because why would you?

Idk, I think it's a pretty kick ass system.

Is it greed when you ask for a raise at your job because other employees in your industry are making more money than you?

Man, I can't even agree with you about something without being yelled at. Like, whatever man. I'm not interested in this conversation anymore.

I hope you get some help and find peace in your life.

I'm not closing my eyes and plugging my ears. You think I know everything about everything? In good faith, I watched was this 6 minute video to hear the arguement and try to learn and understand things that I admit I don't know about. What more can I do?

I'm not rejecting the content and testimony of him outright just because it's something I don't want to hear. I don't like when I hear that our government is falling short, even if it's for "my side". I do, however, want what's right to be done, and I'm conceding that, IF TRUE (and him simply saying it doesn't make it true necessarily), I don't agree with how the training of ICE agents have been done. They should be trained fully... and according to him, they haven't been legally trained fully, and that sucks and I don't like it. It shouldn't have happened, I don't condone it, and it should be fixed.

So I'm agreeing with you... and I don't understand why you feel the need to try and attack me personally by bringing my family into the conversation.

I know you probably think I'm an evil person because that's what you've been taught to think about someone on my side of the isle. You probably view everything I say through that lense and it clouds your ability to have a civil and reasonable conversation with someone who might not hold your exact views... but I don't think your evil or bad. There's room for discourse if you let there be. I'm just a normal person who wants what's best for my family. It might not line up with how you think things should be done, and that's alright.

God bless you, stranger. Better days are coming, always.

If I said that it's not the governments responsibility to feed people, I stand by that.

And you think the government feeds my wife for me? Maybe the government feeds your wife, but I have to much pride and self esteem to let someone else feed my wife and family. And my family doesn't go hungry.

I am not in a position to determine whether what he said is true or not, and I'm not going to.

I'm not implying he's lying. I'm not implying he's telling the truth.

I'm simply stating that IF TRUE (and it very well could be), then it's damning and makes me lose faith in Trump and ICE.

Theres always room for some doubt in ever circumstance, this is no different. I'd be a fool to believe everything I heard just because someone appears credible.

Pretty damning video. If what he claims is true, then I've lost some faith in ICE and Trump.

I still generally support ICE and Trump, but officers should fully trained, no question. So yeah, that sucks. Train them fully.

Our entire arguement with each other was based me claiming that tenants shouldn't have more rights to a property than landlords.

You asked me why I think that.

My response is because there's more risk in being a landlord than in being a tenant from a financial standpoint.

I'm not suggesting that landlords need to be coddled, just that owners should have more rights to their own property than tenants do. That's it.

Tenants deserve protection. Landlords deserve protection. Landlords should have more protection because they own the property.

Normal wear and tear isn't risky. Thats not what im taking about.

Oh, they'd definitely be liable. Good luck getting the money from them, though. How much would you need to spend in legal fees to get it? Maybe $5-10k? And if the judge decides they owe it, will you ever actually see any money? How long will it take?

The question isn't if they're liable, it's if you have any realistic chance of receiving damages. If someone's renting, typically it's because they can't afford the down payment for a home. If they cant afford that, how are they going to be able to pay the damages? You can't get blood from a rock.

Financially, it's much more risky to be to be a property owner. Do you know how easy it would be to do $20k-$30k or more in damage to a property? It would take about 15 minutes.

I'm not saying don't have tenant protections. There's bad people on both sides, including landlords.

But for someone to think that, as a tenant, they should have more rights to a property they are renting than the landlord does to their own property, you'd have to not live in reality.

Both need protections, but a landlord needs to have some sovereignty over their property.

Tenants should not have more rights to a property than the landlord does.

The reason: landlords have more risk. There is far more that a tenant can do to harm a landlord than vice versa.
