Re: Should nontaxpayers be allowed to vote?
What I'm saying is we need to get rid of that concept. It's people (and businesses) that should be taxed, not money. Money has no rights or responsibilities. I see no reason why I should be allowed to avoid paying a tax on income I receive just because someone else paid a tax when it was part of their income.
