re: In theory, would you be OK with only letting citizens vote if they filed their taxes?

Non sequitor. How dense are you to not understand that tenants fund the property taxes and mortgage payments in exchange for use of a property at a fixed price?
You seem so defensive about this. The cope posting is strong.

Or change the law. I can do that too. How quickly you move from "Why do you hate those poor people who don't pay taxes." to "Give me, it's mine!"
I know we don't have universal healthcare yet but don't hurt yourself with that pivot. lmao.
You brought up how oppressed you are as a poor landlord. I was merely responding.

What about retirees?
Reading this thread this was my first thought. I believe if someone is only receiving social security, which they paid into their entire working career, they are not required to file taxes. DO they then lose their right to vote?
Also, what if you are on extension?

If renters are paying my taxes, there's no reason for me to pay my taxes and pay taxes on the money they paid me to pay my taxes. Just because you're dense doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I can certainly see your neoliberal bona fides in your clear support for private property rights and demeaning industry.

It’s not demanding taxation… of course you know that, and are just choosing to be obtuse

Your mom does pay taxes. Your parents file a joint tax return.

Taxation without representation was just as much a complaint against taxes as it was the lack of representation. Because taxation is the government stealing from those who produce.

You are being intentionally obtuse or you are just a moron; it is tough to tell.
I have never advocated for weaponizing or increasing taxation; in fact I said the opposite on many occasions.
I am not a brain dead moron like you and understand that taxation is needed to pay for common use things such as roads, utilities, police, etc.

I firmly believe that ONLY citizens should vote and the tax payer is the most important while felons should not vote while they are incarcerated or until their entire sentence has been carried through/satisfied.
Therefore voter ID is a must and the deportation of ALL Illegal Aliens be taken into reality...

And with this your takes on any topics can be summarily dismissed. You have shown yourself to be a complete moron.
The boomers on this board will eat it up though. lmao.

Yes. If you didn’t pay income tax last year you don’t get to vote this year.
Posted on 4/7/21 at 8:19 am to UncleLester
No. I would rather voters have to exhibit some level of understanding of the issues at hand before voting.
Property ownership and or taxes paid/filed shouldn't matter. My 81 year old father hasn't filed taxes in several years since he is retired and below the income threshold.

I wouldn't go that far.
But I would be COMPLETELY in favor of a requirement that only those who own property are allowed to vote on matters involving property taxes.

I agree completely, but unfortunately that ship has sailed.
I believe that federal taxes should only pay for a narrow scope of items, military, interstate travel, and a few other minor programs. Everything else should be handled at the state and local level. That would give people the flexibility to decide what is important to them. Don’t want a bunch of government overreach? Move to Tennessee. Want to live in the nanny state? Move to New York. Would solve a lot of our problems

They don’t care if taxes will be raised or other services cut because they’re getting theirs without having to contribute anything. Politics has become a competition to offer the most freebies in many cases rather than offer good ideas.
I would be even more OK with only citizens voting who are net tax PAYERS.

Everyone, even renters indirectly via rents, pays for the property taxes.
Just because the landlord writes the check, his tenant funded that payment via rents.
Correct. It's baked into the rent.
You could argue that it's easier for a renter to move away, but they are getting hit.
It's also possible for a property owner to be a leech. Own a cheap trailer in the sticks...you can also have a surgeon renting an apartment in New York.

Show your taxes you paid, show proof of owning property, if you move from one state to another you can’t vote in any election for 8 years.

The only reason those ideas are behind us is because we believe them to be and aren't teaching our children differently. The federal government is going to continue to grow until we put a stop to it. It has no reason to do so otherwise. Why do you think they have everyone fighting over Dr. Seuss books?

No what about people who are on disability I have just as much of a right to vote as you
