The whole concept of taking rights away from poor people is so anti-American. What other punishments do you think low income people deserve? I've got a few that the OP and other posters would probably welcome.
1. Let's count them as only 3/5 of a person in the census. We can't have the stinking underclass skewing things like the number of congressman either.
That wouldn't work because taxpayer-funded government services are provided based on census results.

2. Debtor's prisons. And I am not talking our modern sumptuous prison system either. Picture the Chateau d'If from Count of Monte Cristo. Poor people should be made to suffer for their sins, right?
Given the fact that everyone else is left paying higher prices, charges, and fees to offset bankruptcies and deadbeats, what do you suggest?

3. Forced sterilizations - We need to take steps to make sure that our future generations aren't tainted by the genes of poor people.
That's clearly a hyperbolic, emotional overreaction. There is legitimate concern, however, that too many people are having children without having the means to care for or support them. The children frequently suffer under those conditions.
I agree.
If laws effect only the "INCOME" tax payers then only the income taxes payers should be allowed to vote on that issue. The folks who are affected by the law should be the ones who can vote on it, not all.
Do Atheist want religions voting for them?
Do women want men voting for them?
Do gay folks want hetros voting for them?
Do Catholics want Muslims voting for them?
Do black folks want white folks to voting for them?
Do illegal immigrants want legal immigrants to voting for them?
Do tax payers want non tax payers voting for them? NO!
It wouldn't be a bad idea if we all had a similar desire but we, as Americans, don't. Some folks like to sit around their government house and draw government checks while the government give, gives, gives and gives the whole while taking from those who live a life of waking up and going to a job that pays into the system every week. Who, that leaches our system, wants only those who pay into the system to vote, they know what that means, no more free ride. If all of the American citizens had the desire to work and EARN their money the idea for all to vote on how to spend that money would be great but they're just too many lazy asses in the country that suck our system dry.
Why is it a bad thing if a man votes for a woman and blacks voting for whites and vice versa???
It is a question that is coming more and more. the idea that you have to have some skin in the game makes alot of sense since so mnay more are becoming dependent of the sate ihn this country. meaning they rely on other to fot the bills.
What mechanism would you use to filter out people who didn't make their money on their own, but instead got it through family connections or other forms of non-merit-based transfer?
