So, #Shopify CEO Tobias #Lütke, whose company commands a market capitalization near $154 billion, told his social media followers this week that a tax-tiered voting system—one that would strip #voting #rights from anyone who pays no income tax—would be a “good system.”
Under this proposed system, the disenfranchised bloc would encompass all retirees living on Social Security and pension income, students, caregivers, disabled Americans, and millions of low-wage workers who owe no net federal income #tax after deductions and credits. All so billionaires could have many votes. Like lobbying doesn’t exist.
Tying the right to vote to wealth or tax contribution has a name: “census suffrage,” or property-qualified voting which entrenched the political power of the already wealthy and locked out workers, women, and minorities from any say in the laws governing them.
We’re not going back. Fuck all of that. #Guillotines to the front, please.

Die #FDP ist ja eigentlich ein NoGo. Aber das was Kristine #Lütke zur Legalisierung von #Cannabis sagt ist absolut richtig.
Das #canG ist unvollständig. Es fehlt die zweite Säule. Legaler Anbau & Verkauf. Allerdings würde ich nicht soweit gehen damit in den Onlinehandel zu gehen. Das ist zu viel.
Niedlich finde ich in ihrer Rede, wie sie von #CxU Zahlen, Daten und Fakten zu deren Behauptungen über gestiegenen Konsum und Kriminalität fordert. Fakten haben die Rechten noch nie interessiert.
