Should Poor people have "Less Vote" than Rich people?

If you pay more taxes, taxes that that fund entitlements for poor people, then should you also have more influence* in the way things are managed in the national landscape than those poor people?
*Obviously rich people are smarter than poor people so they should be given the power to call the shots.

Look at the Kardashians, Kanye West, Paris Hilton, and the list could go on.... These people are rich and dumb as a sack of bricks.

I think we should relocate the poors to the Alaskan wilderness and give them each 160 acres

Yes, those that receive more from the government than they put in should not be able to vote.

This is the correct answer.

No.
One person, one vote.
One person, one vote.

One citizen, one vote. Tough to enforce without ID.

No. Voting is a right for all sane citizens in good standing with the law. It is not a privilege to be purchased through payments to the treasury.

Anyone who receives welfare should not be able to vote. Women should not be allowed to vote. Everything in the US went downhill when they got suffrage.
Voter I.D. should be mandatory. The fewer people who vote, the better.

I agree with this
Posted on 7/20/14 at 12:02 pm to Crow Pie
Yes.
I think it should be a system where the people who pay the highest rate of tax get the highest rate of vote.

Only property owners should vote on property taxes. Wouldn't bother me at all if each property owner got as many votes as his property is valued.

How does one determine what one has "received" from the government? Do you think your taxes have paid for every govt service you've received throughout your life?That's a really terrible argument when you get right down to it.

I have a question. I have worked like a dog all of my life. I have developed lung disease and am about to have to quit work and go on disability I am going to work as long as I can. Should I have the right to vote?

I don't disagree with this however. Non property should not be allowed to vote higher taxes on others.

For example. If you are the one paying for dinner for the family....should you not be the one the select the restaurant?

You guys do realize that non property owners - renters - pay property taxes too?
