If my taxes pay your rent, should I have a say in your curfew?

Interesting enough, yes you can have a say but only if you get the other donors to back you for the petition. Power in numbers.

You do have a say - it's called voting. You choose the people who make the laws about curfews. Everybody pays taxes of some sort so everybody's paying the rent. It's too much to have everybody give an individual opinion on curfews and such things so we elect representatives to do it for us.

You already do have a say - You elect the officials that make these laws. If you don't like the job they are doing, you can elect someone else. You also have the right to contact your elected official to express any concerns you have, whether you voted for that person or not.

*EDIT* - If you don't like the way your elected official is doing the job he was elected to do, then you can work to not have him reelected when his term is up.

Well, it depends on your answer to this question: The person who owns the company you work for pays YOUR rent. Should he/she have a say in YOUR curfew? Whatever you answered to that question is the answer to your first question.

No, paying taxes doesn't give you any kind of authority over anyone.
