Speaking of taxation without representation - why do we allow people who live exclusively on the taxpayers' dime without ever contributing to vote? Don't they have a verifiable conflict of interest voting?
Also, why aren't dual citizens forced to choose one country in which to vote? Why are dual citizens allowed to hold government office in the USA?

It's not only Jews who hold dual citizenship but since Israeli citizenship is based on genetics, they can't relinquish it. We must end dual citizenship, there's no beneficial (to human sovereignty and Western Civilization) reason to allow it.

Government dependent people are the government's ace in the hole. I recall back in 1973 or so, America passed the 50% mark when more people were receiving from Washington than contributing. Harry Browne noticed. The idea was basically, folks, it is downhill from here on out. He was right.
