If they don't pay taxes then don't have skin in the game. Do you like it when politicians vote themselves a raise? In this case you think you voted yourself a raise.

So yes, that is what I said. No taxes -> no say!

From where I sit, all politicians are millionaires backed by Big Business and Banks, and they do not seem to be doing a very good of running this country do they? Well, except perhaps for themselves and the cronies in their circle.

Where are the Poor Joe Six Packs in DC?

Share income? Its a damn money grab from the people on the left. They don't want to work for it but they sure want everyone to share. How about sharing the labor (including on welfare).

You sound like a bunch of babies. MOoom he got more than me!
The top 1% also, through their lobbyists, gotten their taxes reduced significantly from what they were over 30 years ago. That has resulted in the greatest inequality since the 1920s. Other countries, who also have people who 'provide a service or produce' and they don't have the inequality that we do. It's all due to lopsided policies that us leftists want to change.

So you support taking voting rights away from certain groups of people?

So you believe if a person is poor, said person shouldn't have a say in how the government is run?

Question for you Petch?

Why should any American pay any taxes at all if they are not being represented, but only by those who bought them?

No Taxation without Representation sound familiar?

If you are sending campaign money to a politician, then yes, you should pay taxes.
