The Republicans and their new “POLL TAX”


The so called non-taxing party has again broken their promises to create new taxes and has instead deceived the American people. The Republican Party better known as the GOP, is trying to take our country back to the early days of the Jim Crowe era. They want to take away the civil and voting rights of minorities, and especially the African Americans.  

In 1964, the American people enacted the 24th Amendment, to prevent the exclusion of the poor from the ballot box. The 24th Amendment forbids the imposition of "any poll tax or other tax" in federal elections.

Yea, it’s the Republican Party that’s always crying about upholding the Constitution of the United States of America, but when it comes to what they need, they lay the U.S. Constitution aside and deceive you the American people.

Many Republican lead states have imposed a poll tax on their citizens at the ballot box. States like Texas, Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, South Carolina and Pennsylvania to name a few, requiring a Voter ID to cast a ballot of your choice. If you cannot afford a state issued ID, then you can’t vote. Ummm, why Republicans?

The 24th Amendment denies states the power to create such a financial barrier to the ballot box. A law requiring a photo ID to vote attacks a key achievement of the civil rights era.

The Republican Party has become the biggest liars and deceivers in American politics and government. They are an established haven for the 1% in this country, and seek to deprive and destroy the minorities, poor and middle class.

Many Republicans will continue to lie and tell you that they have passed these laws to prevent voter fraud. Hold up you big Elephants, records and facts show that in many states voter fraud amounted to less than 1% and in some states it have not even reached a half of an percent.

It’s clear that the Republican Party agenda is to prevent voter turnout to favor their chances at the ballot box.

The republicans don’t care about the economy, they don’t care about jobs being outsourced overseas, they don’t care about your healthcare, but what they do care about is taxing the poor and middle class and handing out “Freebies” to the 1 or 2 percent Americans.  

The wealthy Americans and big corporations don’t even pay the taxes that the average middle class and poor pay in this country. But they continue to deny you the American people your rights.

The Republican Party is not being transparent in this process and American government. They are raising secret cash to fund their Super PAC’s to attack the truth. It’s very clear with no doubt that the Republicans has been bought and paid for.

These new Voter ID laws and Massive Poll Tax will disenfranchise voters and depress the voter turnout in many areas and states around the Country.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the Justice Department is doing this Country a good deed to challenge these crazy laws that the Republicans has imposed upon the American people.  

Republicans just stop it and live by what you say you really believe and let the American people decide the rest. Do you really have to cheat to win, or work for the American people and let your work speak for itself?
