Shouldn't anyone is a net consumer of taxes just be totally banned from the political process?

If you do not contribute all and are a net consumer why should you be allowed to vote yourself more money.

    Makes sense to me. Go on Welfare, lose your vote. But not if it is not your fault, like you are blind or handicapped.

    Sure, than all the teaa baggers would not have a vote. They are all old people. They don;t produce anything. They are the generation that benefited from the debt that we now have to pay.

    I'm more in favor of a competency test before voting. The tea baggers would not have had a chance.

    Only a conservative would think that $600.00 a month for welfare and $150.00 a month in food stamps is better than working for a living.

    Maybe everyone collecting Social Security should only get a half vote?

    I am a conservative and I say no, that is why I support a flat tax on consumption, so long as income tax is abolished.
