Actually, I feel strongly that anyone who does not pay taxes should not be allowed to vote. A person who is a leech on society, and contributes nothing, should have no say so in how the country is run.

Nobody argues that children under 18 living under their parent's roof, eating their parent's food, spending their parent's money, should be allowed ANY say so in making the rules for the household.

Yet for some reason immigrants and welfare abusers are allowed to vote MY MONEY into their pockets?

I'd like to bring up my favorite quote about democracy:

"Democracy is an inherently unstable form of government. It can only exist until a majority of the population realizes it can vote the largesse of the rest of the population into their own pockets."
