I say we should pass legislation that requires all persons participating in any election be taxpayers.
I can agree with the sentiment, but a small impediment stands in the way, like getting 2/3rd of both houses of Congress and 3/4 of the states to agree with repeal what they did to that idea in the 60's:
Passed by Congress August 27, 1962. Ratified January 23, 1964.
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.
Hmmmm, the foundation for a socialistic form of government has been formidably laid! It just goes to show the hard work ahead to get back to the foundation we were originally built upon.....
