I cite a source not exactly in agreement with me in using the phrase "poll tax." However, if the idea is that a poll tax is a poll tax is a poll tax, and the motive is to suppress voter turnout, then Politifact's "Mostly False" is less than spot on.

Dems want a turnout that favors them, as do 'pubs. That is no red herring. In Vince Lombardi politics, winning is the only thing, and neither Dems nor Pubs get to put on the halo and claim angels sing if their side wins.

Buying Vaseline lotion for cracked hands is more of a burden for the poor than the non-poor. Any added requirements to vote place more of a burden on the poor and elderly, and we all know it, and we all know what demographics are thereby suppressed.

So, you're worried about the poor and the elderly now huh? Fine, let's elect a man who will restore the 716 billion dollars this administration seized from Medicare to fund ObamaCare, which is running about as effectively as many VA hospitals are right now. Further, people who reach the age of 65 MUST enroll in the US Medicare Program, which means it is mandatory. So, if you're nearing 65 and have a platinum healthcare policy, you might as well spend those premiums each month on the lottery because that big time policy pays NADA after 65. Medical expenses have tripled for many US citizens since the inception of ObamaCare. That is certainly the case for me, in fact, I pay north of 15,000 thousand dollars each year just in insurance premiums, co-pays and deductibles. No more do I get my deductible requirement met than the fiscal year is up in smoke and it starts all over again. Most of my medical expenses therefore come out of my checking account, not my health insurance provider's account. But that was the plan all along and I've been screaming about it since Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi rammed through ObamaCare in the first place. They needed our money to pay for the needs of others. It's called redistribution of wealth. The irony is unless one happens to be wealthy, such government mandates will wind up choking the life out of all who have supported them on party grounds as well as those of us in the opposition. Now, before you accuse me of changing the subject there is a notable ID Card that I have not yet mentioned. The ObamaCare ID Card. That's right, yet another government required ID Card.

But your post is just another sidestep, and I guarantee you we all know that. We don't have any form of poll tax in this nation, ever heard of the 24th Amendment? The ID's are to be given to people free, as in no charge. The truth is you cannot explain any moral difference between SS Cards, SNAP Cards and drivers license requirements, as opposed to voter ID Cards. Nor can you name a state that charges for voter ID's. Frankly, Dems have managed to outlast Republicans on the issue of voter ID's, because if Hill is elected the Obama transformation being set in stone is a certainty and therefore, after November 8th all this becomes moot. Four more years of transformation and people like you will have your way. To apply hyperbole to metaphor, at that point the US Constitution will look more like the rusting hulk of an abandoned Pittsburg Steel mill, than the document that the framers intended to protect their gift to posterity, that shining city on a hill.
