What part of majority don’t you understand? Essentially, 20% of Americans pay for the rest, the other 80% won’t voluntarily vote to pay their share. Each year more Americans join the rolls of those who get more from the government than they pay in (see Tax Foundation web site for data) More than 60% take in more benefits than they pay in taxes, and as of last year for the first time >50% effectively paid no net tax at all. When the majority don’t pay, how can elections change anything? They can’t.
