Not the voter, who may not pay a net of anything, but the Taxpayer.
How many of the voters who cast their ballot for Obama are net taxpayers (after refundable credits and 'entitlements', and how many who voted for McCain?
I think that alone would change your equation substantially.
You might want that definition to be the one that *actually* works — but — very simply, it doesn’t. The *real life employer* (and I mean “recognizing reality”) — is — the American Voter.
Now, maybe you want to change the situation to be *only voters who pay taxes*. I know in the past, that the only people who could vote were men and they had to own property. But, our laws have changed since then — and now that’s no longer valid.
It appears that you want to go back to those days again, and maybe so. But, that’s *not reality* (no matter what you desire or what you think “should be”). It’s simply *not*...

And the biggest things I’ve seen here on *this issue* is simply that those who are *fervently wanting Obama out of office* — just don’t like “reality”. But, that’s what we’ve got.
Now, the “reality” is that the “employer” that our system has said is the employer (not the previous men with property) has hired Obama, and hired him with a larger margin than either Clinton or Bush.
And the “reality” is (also) if there is a problem with the qualifications issue (per the Constitution) all someone has to do is produce documentation in a court of law and have it agreed upon by that court — and you’ve solved it.
Unfortunately, no one has been able to do that. That’s the “reality” of the situation, as it stands today.
Another reality that is quickly coming down the track is that after January 20th, only Congress will be able to remove Obama from office (through the Impeachment process). And I don’t hold out hopes for that working out, considering how it went with Clinton.
