Theresa and the bogus war hero could conceivably get dozens or even hundreds of votes under such a scenario where property ownership entitles one to a vote.

OTOH, I think that only tax paying citizens should have a vote. Why should Government free loaders get to vote on issues which effect the purses of working persons?

I'm with you Radix. I've always felt very strongly that only those actually paying taxes or at least those not accepting government assistance, specifically welfare, food stamps, or WIC should have a say so in economic policy. Perhaps a suspension of voting rights as long as you accept gov. assistance, or partial suspension(1/2 a vote since they still pay fica). Certainly would be a motivation to get off of it quickly and would disrupt those that encourage voters on assistance to vote dem with enticements like cigs and th elike
