Voting

What would the election results look like if we limited voting to people who are net contributors rather than net takers from the government? This would not be divided on race or gender lines - just lines of productivity. S/he who sacrifices the most to make government run would have the strongest voice. The next time you think of blaming the rich for your plight, remember this little nugget of truth. Fifty percent of Americans receive a check from a government entity each month (local, state, federal). Why don't we let the people who pay for government elect its leaders? Otherwise, isn't democracy just sanctioned stealing?

Discuss.
