Idea On Voting In Federal Elections, Do You Agree?

[Harpy Eagle]

In 2023, I will likely not pay any federal income tax because I am retired and have a low income. Why do you propose to strip me of my right to vote? You didn't not think this through, or you are a proponent of tyranny.

That just means you are old and about to die, why do you need the right to vote?

Just curious

Does anyone have an data on percentage of income paid as all taxes vs. income ranges?

I wonder if when all taxes are considered who pays a higher percentage of income as taxes, the less well off or the rich.

No ward of the state should get to vote. That is perfectly fair.

Part of America's problem is the lefties who have a give me mentality being allowed to vote for even more gimmies.

What part is a lie? The rich people pay more taxes than the poor do. I was just giving the lefties a chance to jump on my proposal. But, they won't because they know the rich pay most all of the income taxes collected. There is no lie about that.

That means you lied, repeatedly!

I don't understand how I lied. I gave the left the opportunity to jump on my proposal. They didn't because they knew the rich actually do pay taxes.

You stated a lie to get them to do that. Don't you get it? That makes you a liar!

You still haven't told me what the lie was.

You still haven't told me what the lie was.

You said the rich did not pay income taxes and then turned around and said they did. You lied!

Now, slither back under your nearest rock and lie no more.

I was posting in a thread and my light bulb came on for a voting proposal, which is this:

First, you have to be 18 or older and a US citizen, as well as some other restrictions already on the books. Second, you can only vote in federal elections if you pay federal income taxes. This seems fair to me since a large part of what we are voting for is in how our tax dollars are spent, so, only those actually paying those taxes should decide how they are spent. Those paying no federal income taxes shouldn't get a say in how the tax dollars paid by tax payers is spent.

This should please leftists because they claim many of the rich don't pay federal income taxes or that the rich don't pay their fair share, leaving the voting mostly in the hands of the tax payers who are paying the taxes (the little guys), right?

Why should they be allowed to vote in city or state elections? If you’re on welfare you are a ward of the state be it national, state, city or county. You have forfeited your right to a say in how anything gets run. You aren’t contributing therefore get no say.

I never said the rich did not pay income taxes. I said the left say the rich don't pay income taxes.

That is still a lie.

I am done, since you continue to lie!

Hey, it's your side who is wanting to tell secretaries of state elections to not have Trump on the ballot, suppressing the votes so that your side wins. When our country was first formed, only land owners were allowed to vote because they were the ones paying the taxes.

Trump incited an insurrection. Constitutionally he is ineligible to run for office because of his actions.

That's a lie in and of itself.

Guess you haven't heard. He's running.

That's a lie in and of itself.

What planet are you from? The left say all the time that the rich don't pay federal income taxes.

So people living on Social Security and Veterans pensions wouldn't be allowed to vote?

And you think this will help the GOP how?

I already addressed that. My idea obviously needed tweaking.
