Originally, only property owners could vote. Now people who don't pay taxes vote to decide how much taxpayers should pay... bread & circuses anyone?

Everyone pays taxes in one form or another. At stores, for property the rent, gas for cars they drive.

TSgt Frank Shirley - I agree with you there. And not just on that issue. You hear about overpopulation, that there are too many people in the world. The people who are saying this are really saying there's too many *other* people in the world. As the Ghost of Christmas Present said in a favorite seasonal story, "Oh God. to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust."

TSgt Frank Shirley[SSG Jessica Bautista] - To a previous point: I typed my last comment with a pen between my teeth, and this one holding the pen in my fist with stabbing motions. Is proper capitalization really that hard for you? If so, you have my apologies; but really if you can type "AND" you should be able to type "{capslock}A{capslock}nd", can't you?

Thats an interesting theory but now as then the property owners were not the only people paying taxes... so that theory is shot down...
Citizens Paying Taxes Get to Vote...

Sounds like a revamp of the old "jim crow" laws. Never work tho, it is not only black people who are not home owners, every race has a high % of people living in Apartments. Not just the lower class either, completely invalid.

all anyone should need is just to be a citizen, either born here or naturalized. Income or property ownership should never be a factor !

So someone said that someone said that someone said that Bannon said this or that. K. Seems legit.

SN Greg Wright - who knows anymore. It is almost impossible to source check anymore. I have gone to smaller "non-named brand" search engines a few times and get some weird chit popping up. Search engines like "Ask".
