Should only tax payers be allowed to vote?
When Socrates and his friends were talking of voters, they were talking of land owners. In today’s terms, that means, ---- taxpayer. The core of democracy.
There are two types of citizens. The tax payer and the tax taker.
Once the tax payer hands over his wealth, he loses control of where it is spent.
This is counter to the taxpayer’s wishes.
Why do taxpayers allow this situation and defer their right to spend their wealth to others?
If tax-takers had done a good job with that wealth, I do not think any would complain. That is not the case.
Should those who pay the way of our society be the ones who decide where our wealth is spent?
Since the right to do so is tied to our vote, should only taxpayers be allowed to vote on spending issues?
