Should people who pay more income tax have more votes?
We have a graduated income tax system where besides paying more in taxes when you make more money, you are also charged a higher percentage of income tax. So isn't there the real danger that those who do not pay that much into the system are not going to give a rats ass how much money the government spends since they know that what ever they contribute isn't ****?
Why should those who only pay 10% have the same say in how the money is spent as someone who pays 35% or more? Why should they have a equal voice when one pays more in money as well as higher percentage of money as someone who only contributes chump change?
Those who rob from Peter to pay Paul will always have Paul's support." Isn't there a real danger in that?
