One should only be able to vote where one pays taxes.

If you don’t pay Fed taxes then you should be barred from voting in Federal elections.

If you don’t pay taxes in the state , you must not be allowed to vote in that state.

What nonsense. Just what taxes do you mean? Sales tax? Gasoline tax? Tax on alcohol? The money taken from the rent you pay which the land owner uses to pay tax? How about unemployment tax? What about money taken from your wages for FICA?

The idea of a system where by design citizens are shut out from having a voice in our government is repugnant in the extreme. To establish policy that furthers class division is playing right into the hands of radical liberalism.

You are probably right. Unfortunately, people will probably do the selfish thing and vote themselves more Obama money versus do the right thing.

It happens at all levels, too — we vote for the politician who brings the most pork to our States. We may have only paid a small fraction in taxes of what is returned to us in pork.

I guess that is the system, however imperfect.

Everybody pays taxes, whether they know it or not. Not everybody pays INCOME TAX. But the working poor pay SS and Medicare, and everyone pays sales taxes, utility taxes, gas taxes, etc. plus they pay corporate income tax indirectly in the cost of everything they consume.
