Anyone on gubmint payroll (federal or state level) should not be allowed to vote, imho. Including the politicians themselves. Let the tax payers without conflict of interest vote. And their votes should be proportional to the tax (of all forms) that they personally pay.

Actually re-reading it, I do not believe in proportional voting. But disallowing people on government payroll & on the dole shouldn’t either.

Uh...no. Gov employees pay taxes too and no ones vote should count more than anyone else.

Now if you want to talk about suspending the right to vote for people who are on the dole such as on welfare; that's a conversation worth having.

I don’t know about that, but I always felt that people on welfare should NOT be allowed to vote on tax issues.

Lil late to this thread - just doing some IDF research..

In regard to folks in the Govt. should not vote - I left the private sector 5 months ago for management in State Government - Trust me - you want guys like me in government... and I should vote...

That said, I’m in Wisco and the Unions are dead - woot woot...
