I've seen some interesting points from the right wing. One popular one is that only people who pay taxes should be allowed to vote. Now, I know what they mean is Federal Income Tax, not ANY taxes, because everyone pays SOME tax. Even the homeless bum on the street who spends $2 on a 40 oz beer pays sales tax. He is the guy they dont want voting, so, I know they mean the Fed Income taxes.
Which means, the RIGHT to vote would be infringed on....based on how much money a person earns. And they all seem for it.
So, if a right can be infringed on based on...just net worth...why not others?
Should ONLY Federal Income Tax payers be allowed to own a gun? That would suck for cops and members of the military. But, only those tax payers at the top contribute to protecting that right, since it is a Federal right, and the military protects it, and the military is funded only by Federal Tax Payers...that oh so elite, special group of people who deserve more rights than the rest of us. So, maybe only Federal Income Tax payers should be allowed to own a gun, right?
OR what about freedom of speech? Or the right to not be subject to illegal searches? Or...the right to freedom of religion? Should ONLY those who pay Federal Income Taxes enjoy those rights also????
