Why were non-taxpayers ever allowed to vote?

Why should people who don’t pay taxes or contribute anything to society make decisions on how to spend everyone else’s money?

And why do people who live in government housing or rent housing vote to decide property taxes.

That my friend is a very valid answer.

The federal and state governments would have never grow to this size if that was never allowed to happen.

Why do people on government assistance not have to submit to regular drug testing?

I'd be happy if we just stop letting dead/fictional people vote. That kills 50% of the Democrat vote right there.

But to answer your question, some retarded leftist will say, "they still pay sales tax", as if that's a win.

People who don’t pay federal taxes shouldn’t be allowed to vote in Federal elections.

The ability to vote for more welfare when not bringing any value to society is terribly wrong.

Yes only USA citizens that are on the tax rolls should vote.

60% of Americans are exempt from sales tax, or paying property tax through rent, or any tax when they register a vehicle, etc etc etc?

Government craves power. Those people will always vote in favor of raising taxes. Higher taxes = more money for government.

It's why single motherhood is celebrated.

Government doesn't care about us. They care about themselves.

My threshold for voting isn't taxes, race, sex, orientation, etc.

It's government assistance. If you are on government assistance you can't vote until you are off.

Why don't you want anyone over 65 to vote?

It would be amazing for Democrats if that happened, but weird for you to propose it as a Republican.

Find me a corporation that doesn’t pay taxes. Before you do something stupid, remember that there are numerous other taxes levied against businesses not named income tax.
