With certain exceptions, people who pay no taxes, and people who receive cash or equivalents from the government, should not be allowed to vote

I could not agree more. The Founders never supported universal suffrage for good reason.

I fail to see how it is “fair” to allow a parasite to vote himself a share of my wealth.

[cyberstoic]

Totally agree. We fought a revolution for Taxation Without Representation. Now people get Representation Without Taxation.

Once the takers become 51% of the voters, the game is over. We, the people who work, pay taxes, and raise our children, become the slaves of the takers. They will control the government. The rioters at the Chicago Trump Rally will control your life. That is where we are headed if we fail to elect Trump.

that makes way too much sense, thus it will never fly in DC because that would begin returning power back to the middle class.

[Sam Gamgee]

Agree. End suffrage for non- income tax payers.

Yeah, let's disenfranchise everyone over 65.

If you say, "Well, people on SS and Medicare are the exceptions." then you're excepting $1.4T in transfer payments and focused only on less than $400B in safety net programs.
