Hey Greg, No, they are not, but "DaBabyMama" who has five kids and is a continuous breeder solely for the purpose of generating revenue count the same as my vote. This is the predominant make-up of the Gerrymandered Congressional District where Charlie Rangel depends upon for his support.
Even using your example, a college student who is dependent upon Pell Grants and generates nothing in the way of tax dollar revenue; his vote counts the same as mine. I just think that it is an interesting concept of voting, and why votes should count the same. Maybe the college student should deserve a vote, but then, why shouldn't my vote be counted a bit more? Why not give "DaBabyMama" a single vote, the college kid two votes, and give taxpaying citizens who also pay property taxes ten votes? Why is there such a push by these far left extremist groups, to register voters, and it has been well documented that they have registered illegal aliens who should not have a vote, as well as fictional individuals, or folks like DaBabyMama who have registered numerous times under fictitious addresses? Just some general thoughts is all.....
