No, I did not. Did you miss the part of the Constitution that actually specifies HOW representatives are to be apportioned? Let me clue you in: it's "among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers". Funny you missed that: it's actually the continuation of your truncated quotation Next time, read the whole thing before going off your nut.

Apparently you have missed the two formulas: one for the number of each state's number of representatives, and one for each state's share of any general tax laid among the states.

The two formulas are:

State`s Pop.
___________ X House (435) = State`s votes in House
Pop. of U.S.



State`s pop.
_________ X SUM TO BE RAISED = STATE`S SHARE
U.S. Pop

They are not “liberals”. They are conniving Marxist parasites who use the cloak of government force to steal the wealth which wage earners, business and investors have worked to create

I didn’t miss anything.

But I am not swayed by utter irrelevancy. You are conflating the idea of allocation of direct taxation among the States on the basis of their populations, and the makeup of their delegations to the Electoral College, also based on population, albeit indirectly.

But it is NOT based on the taxes they pay, any more than a carriage pulls a mule.

You and I know what the word is for that. “Only those paying taxes can vote.” It is, a naughty word to women, minorities, and illegals.
If a person does not pay taxes, he/she can not vote.
