According to the neanderthal who said this, no. People who don't pay taxes include a large number of welfare recipients who are surely NOT going to vote to cut government spending. They don't have any money in the game, so they shouldn't have a say in how the money is spent. Only people who pay for the things our government does should get a say in who is spending the money. More responsible voters = equals more responsible politicians. So...only those who pay taxes should have a voice in our government? How about the folks who are on Social Security and don't make enough to pay taxes. No vote? Disabled? No vote? I think a better system would be letting those who actually don't have "money in the game" make the rules. |

Wow, I'd really love to know how a system like that works! |

I'm not exactly sure what that person's "job" is  but I suspect it entails something a poor person can't even afford to do in pleasure. This elitist attitude - wait, I thought we were the elites? - is what's destroying the country. |

I am all for it. Since corporations have individual rights then any individuals that work for corporations that don't pay taxes can't vote. No big farms, GE, Bank of America, shit is knocks out most corps that donate a shit load of money. That would only leave small business owners like myself the ability to vote. Me and my ilk will have this shit fixed in 2 election cycles.

I think Howey was advocating a system in which only those who don't pay any taxes should be allowed to vote. So that probably strikes you out. |

And here in Florida it's going to get all Wisconsin-worse!A massive rewrite of Florida’s elections laws to be debated today in the Florida House of Representatives is drawing harsh criticism from nonpartisan voter groups, grassroots political organizers, election supervisors, and several members of the Florida House Democratic Caucus.
At a press conference held in the Florida Capitol before the House convened, state Representative Jeff Clemens (D-Lake Worth), the Democratic Ranking Member on the House Governmental Operations Subcommittee, warned that the Republican-backed legislation would have the undesirable effect of suppressing the vote.
“This bill makes it harder to register to vote, harder to vote, and harder to have your vote counted. Why would we do any one of those things, much less all three?” said Rep. Clemens.
House Bill 1355 and Senate Bill 2086 would, among other things, impose new restrictions on groups that register voters, shorten the validity of voter signatures on citizen initiatives from four years to two, and require voters to cast provisional ballots if they move to another county. Opponents have said the stricter provision would disproportionately affect college students, military personnel and low-income people, who are more likely to move more frequently. |
