Should proof of a positive tax burden be a prerequisite for voting on anything in general in this country?

No taxation without representation was the slogan. Not we demand representation without taxation.

They’re not the same thing.


1. Just because the government relieves you of the burden doesn't mean you aren't subject to taxation.

2. Are we adding up all taxes or are we picking and choosing based on your subjective criteria?

107 million people pay no income tax


quote:

Using adjusted Internal Revenue Service (IRS) data to include households that do not file tax returns and fewer filing households paying income tax, we arrive at a preliminary estimate of 61.1 percent of households not paying income tax in 2020, which is close to TPC’s model estimate.

The large portion of households paying no income tax illustrates that the U.S. income tax system is quite progressive, and that the tax system is increasingly being used to provide social benefits to households.
