Following your posts Johnny because their are many of us in the same predicament. I paid in HIGH HIGH until I lost all

Trust me, I would have loved to pay a few million dollars in taxes at a 10% rate(dreaming again) for FY09. I would have eaten a lot fewer beans.

But to be told that my vote should be void because I pay no federal taxes this year grates on me, as a conservative.

I believe in maintaining as low a tax profile as legally possible, and the supreme court agrees. For purported 'conservatives' to love taxation so much that they use it as a touchstone of the franchise, is beyond me.

Now, taking money from government, or benefit from government, I can see that as a cut-point. There is a clear conflict of interest when people that get money from the government are allowed to vote.
