There is a difference between wealthy and just plain lazy.

This is like me saying" let's just stop encouraging hard workers and only allow poor dems to vote"

Yes. All American citizens have the right to vote. Except convicted felons, I believe.....and I could have that wrong.

Depends, but you got my answer from the last question, above 30% it begins to be too much.

Yes I understand. Now what about others, what do you think their limit should be before they start complaining?

I can't speak for other people, if that is what you are asking me.

What if people who do not or have not paid into our system started voting against your 30% telling you were not paying enough and that you were heartless. Would you start to complain then if it became say 45%?

There is no right to vote in the Constitution.

Maybe, but I wouldn't take away their right to vote just because I disagreed with them.

That is correct, there is nothing specific that says right to vote, but there are several amendments that have been created as well as the voters rights act of 1965 that have all addressed voter rights.
