what about rural areas where felons out number tax paying residents?

We're gonna give you three meals a day, room and board, a library and other entertainment, medical treatment, phonecalls and visits, and many other amenities.

COOL!

But you can't vote.

Felons don't pay taxes?

Even without getting into the authoritarian perspective that you'd need to think that breaking the law is a justification for oppression, stripping felons of their rights after they've served their time is pretty unethical imo.

Hoarding private property and owning a home in one of the most coveted segregated all white areas in the nation is a deal breaker for me property being theft and all that.

And yes you have to live a humble existence or you’re a hypocrite

He lives a lifestyle that that cannot be replicated for the masses by any means conceivable.

He’s such a ****ing fraud. **** that guy.
