Should only taxpayers be allowed to vote?

[French Patriot]

Should only taxpayers beallowed to vote?

When Socrates and his friendswere talking of voters, they were talking of land owners. In today’s terms,that means, ---- taxpayer. The core ofdemocracy.

There are two types ofcitizens. The taxpayer and the taxtaker.

Once the taxpayer hands overhis wealth, he loses control of where it is spent.

This is counter to thetaxpayer’s wishes.

Why do taxpayers allow thissituation and defer their right to spend their wealth to others?

If taxtakers had done a goodjob with that wealth, I do not think any would complain. That is not the case.

Should those who pay the wayof our society be the ones who decide where our wealth is spent?

Since the right to do so istied to our vote, should only taxpayers be allowed to vote on spending issues?

Seeing as everyone pays GST the question is moot.

That's the way it is now!

There's two certainties in life! -

 

[French Patriot]

Yes. One of those is that the taxpayers vote will be negated by the taxtaker who will vote for whoever offers him more of the public purse that the taxpayer fills.

Enjoy being squeeze by both the top and bottom of our demography if you happen to be in the middle.

That is not the concept of democracy. If you equate all the taxes paid, those who
are part of the society not land owners pay more real taxes than those who are.
Today of course we have fees not taxes in many cases and those fees are indeed
taxation without the word being used. If you attempted to implement a system like
this in an educated society there would be a revolution.

You must be thinking of VAT's.

Sure the taxtakers pay that. With the money they suck from the public ***.

Move the flap on your bra. It's feeding time.

See above and be moot as they bite your ***.

No taxation without representation means no representation through a vote without paying tax.

Just what I was going to ask.

Another blowhard who thinks he and his money are closer to god.

How come we got two threads the same? Frenchy, did you hiccup when you posted?

 

[gerryh]

because frenchy isn't the brightest bulb in the house.

 

[lone wolf]

So ... uhm ... how does that work for people who rent apartments or lease the land under their residence?

 

[JLM]

because frenchy isn't the brightest bulb in the house.

Or maybe because sh*t happens, Ger, I've had a post of mine pop up twice on a couple of occasions, so may be within the realm of possibility with threads. I'm not going to lose much sleep over it.............-

Maybe he wanted to go bilingual with it and forgot which lingo he started with!

Does it matter? If they don't get you one way they'll get you another.
