Holly, I didn't respond, but I will now.
Yes, I think there is a certain logic to giving more "credence"; or magnitude, (I'm not sure of what adjective I am looking for here!!) to an individual's vote(s), who pays his income taxes, property taxes, and a host of other federal, state and municipal taxes, as opposed to a person who pays none of the above. Of course, I learned at an early age, (when in my thirties and when I employed about 45 individuals who ususally did not vote the way that I did); that it was not prudent to give them the day off, or a half of a day off to go and vote, which had previously been my practice. I don't encourage ignorant, uninformed folks to go and vote anymore....I want them to stay at home, and continue to ride the government gravy train.
