Definitely. Anyone who doesn’t chip in via taxes should not have a vote. They have no right to provide input as to how government money should be spent.

Every American citizen can vote for his/her representatives in govn. from the president down to their county representatives. They are voting for people, not about how govn. spends money. Many years ago, people had to pay a poll tax to vote and that was rescinded as unconstitutional.

Plus, if voting rights were related to the amount of money people make, these people who make smaller money amounts who wouldn't pay taxes, would be captive people - their voting rights would be taken from them due to no fault of their own. That would be unconstitutional.

What about millions of government employee bureaucrats many whom are unionized who shouldn't be voting based on the fact it's a *major* conflicts of interest.
