Quoting: samanthasunflower I'm sick of people living off the government and then voting for people who promise them more free stuff. THIS The country would fix itself real fast if the right to vote was given only to those paying taxes and not recieving benefits. I would only make exception for elderly and veterans sheell be right mate |

ESP83 User ID: 39530642 United States 05/09/2013 11:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree. why should someone who doesn't pay a dime have the same say as me (who gets hit for about $350 a week in taxes? Obviously they aren't going to give a damn about any kind of political issues/policies that don't involve more free money in their pockets... I know there are many who pay way more than me though, so I realise my logic is flawed when I pay a mere fraction of what many others pay yet are afforded the same number of votes than I.

Quoting: ESP83 Some of the stupidest voters in the nation pay taxes. In fact the most corrupt bastards in the nation pay the most taxes. Why even go there? I was just pointing out that the law could be twisted and exploited if it ever happened, that the next arguement after that would be "I pay more than you do, so my vote should count more than yours" ESP83 |

Renters pay property taxes indirectly. Having no income tax liability does not mean one is on welfare. This neocon talking point myth needs to go.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1211208 Fuck income tax anyway, but your basic idea is correct. Let's make it property owners. ^THIS^ Hey sheeple, allow me to enlighten. You dont really own anything, its an illusory machination.. because there are entities above you in that deed your holdin'... you cant even know what is your government, because your not represented.. they nod with blank stares because theres no dollars behind your lamentations... Why do you think politicians spend millions for a 2 day hotel stay.. Snorting coke banging hookers waiting to get paid.. By the same corporate elite that own both parties.. They the same ones that own your government and pay no taxes... Because theres no value in the money; only the attribution of value via psychological conclusions.. that you've been well trained to assign -by those who create nothin' but the illusion and taxes are tribute payment to international banking cartels.. who control secret societies that carry out the dirty work to get their initiatives through congress bernake himself said there should be no national debt ceiling.. not much fiscal responsibility up there in washington |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 33367381 United States 05/09/2013 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are other taxes... However.. If there should be no taxation without representation... then it follows... No representation if no taxes. As Bummer says... You need skin in the game and those illegals on the dole do not have any stakes. Neither do they pay income taxes for the most part. But they milk the trough quite empty. |

Red Blues User ID: 39292438 United States 05/09/2013 11:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The problem is that the vote was originally set up so that only land owners could vote (look it up) but that was not 'fair' to the burgeoning urban dwellers who needed a voice to clean out the corruption in the larger urban area's political enclaves. A return to that system would likely mean even more corruption. Does anyone really think we neeed more of that? But while we're doing all this wishful thinking, why not just make it illegal for anyone who enacts laws to allow themselves a waiver from being accountable under that law? Soc Sec and other programs would be fixed in under six months flat... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 35737972 United States 05/10/2013 12:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone that has a job through a government contract should not be allowed to vote. I see this job as a bribe by the government. So if you work for any schools, police,fire,military anything. No voting. If you contract that means if you build for the government and your employees work on that jobsite. No vote. If you do any government work of ANY KIND. You don't get a vote. The government took money from us to bribe you for your vote. |
