Speaking of loads, you seem willing to allow those with no stake in the nation to gleefully vote you out of existence because you support them with your taxes and they will vote to insure you continue to support them with your taxes while they enjoy the free ride.

In other words IMHO no one should be exempt from the Federal Income Tax, which should put everyone on level playing field. That way a certain non paying portion (at present 40%) of the population will not be vying for the exact opposite of the paying portion of the population.

Income taxes are just one of many taxes as you point out, but they are the one tax that supports the federal government and regardless of the inference that it is theft, if you are being thieved by the government and there are others benefiting from the thievery at your expense, you still think it is a good idea to allow them the vote? Eventually the beneficiaries are going to out number the contributors.

PS, there is no constitutional right to vote in a presidential election. IMHO no one receiving money or benefits from government, like no tax liability, ought to be in competition with the producers and contributors. Common sense says it is a contrived battle between the contributors and the recipients.

Well, if it is a load, it belongs to you since I stated nor implied any such thing.

Did you just now read the constitution? Of course there isn't. We vote for electors and they vote for presidents. Nonetheless you deem it proper to rob a citizen of his most important right. The right to vote. A citizen has a right to vote period. He does not have a right to expect me to support him. That is a distinction that should be readily apparent. We have a Constitution which states "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." somehow our leaders choose to interpret private property in their own way such that they believe redistribution of wealth escapes this clause.
