"I think only taxpayers should be allowed to vote. You get one vote for each dollar you pay in taxes."
I have argued for years that only land owners should be allowed to vote on local bonds since property taxes end up paying for the bonds. I have also argued that those on federal assistance should not be allowed to vote. It's like voting to keep paying yourself. However, I do not endorse having to pay taxes to vote. Really wronging stay at home Moms who are often more valuable than many white collar workers. "Oh, and those who serve in the military get votes and don't have to pay taxes ever." Of course they should be allowed to vote. It's unfortunate how often their absentee ballots get lost. As for taxes, they should pay like everyone else. But, the tax should be a national consumption tax, not a progressive income tax.
