Wake up, the distribution tax payment is skewed totally in favor of the poor, Because they control a greater proportionate vote

I don't think you can conclude from anything I've said that I am unaware of the distribution tax. But, as usual, there are several ways in which to read and interpret statistics. For example;

For Richer

That so large a percentage of our population earns so little and pays little or no taxes is a real problem. What solution do you propose?

See replies #41 & 48 for what I support as well as many other conservative and liberal folks.

Get government out of our individual finances, and return to us our financial privacy and choices in our family economics.

This situation would be easily corrected by requiring that one of three criteria be met in order to vote:

1. Current net taxpayer (taxes paid minus government assistance greater than zero)

2. Currently in the military

3. 10 consecutive years in any combination of 1 and 2 grants permanent right to vote.

Essentially, everyone who is a citizen has a right to be here, but only those who contribute to our society have a voice in the direction we take.
