An estimated 1 million New Yorkers, about 20 percent of the adult population, don't have voting rights, although they pay $18.2 billion a year in state income taxes, the activists said...

Another moron proposal... Doesn't matter what they pay in income taxes! The bottom line continues to be: Do they pay more in income taxes than they receive in direct benefits from all levels of government?

... if I don't have to pay any of it I'm all for every fracking tax increase proposed!

Reject the tax argument completely. They are non-citizens. What other country or government would ever even consider giving voting rights to non-citizens? NONE!

The argument is baseless no matter what other side argument is thrown. If they want to vote, they must first become citizens. Period.

"Doesn't matter what they pay in income taxes! "

Lets turn it around on them. Lets say "ok, we'll let them vote but ONLY people who pay taxes are allowed to vote". No more welfare mamas bussed to the polls, no more winos, junkies, crackheads, college students, etc... In other words no more Dim base.
