WhiteManistan’s Minister of Fascism gets an idea
WhiteManistan’s Minister of Best Practices in Fascism, Ted Nugent has the cure for ailing America.
He’ll use his NRA clout to make it law that everyone who buys a gun at a gun show go through a background check if the rest of us will campaign for and help enact law that takes the right to vote for presidential and congressional candidates in elections away from people who pay no income tax.
“The voting ‘loophole’ needs to be closed in order to restore fairness in federal elections,” reasons Nugent. It’s not necessarily permanent, he says. If you pay income tax for three consecutive years, your voting rights will be restored. “[Let’s] get it on. We have a country to save.”
(He could also have tied disenfranchisement to enrollment in the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. This would have had the added benefit of preserving some of the votes of poor white people in red states where Tea Party governors have refused to take government money for it.)
This isn’t new, only more formally codified. During December of 2012 he also campaigned for disenfranchising “welfare leeches.”
It seems that during the holiday season, one of the things on Ted Nugent’s cheery mind is taking away the vote from all the bloodsuckers, er — not white people, who don’t pay income tax.
No link, obviously.

Wouldn’t one of the largest class of non-voters created by Minister Ted be the uber wealthy billionaires?
They don’t seem to pay a lot of tax when it comes down to it.
Guess it’s another well thought out idea courtesy of ‘the Nuge’
