I have an idea to sell the idea of a net-taxpayer voter system to leftists. Use their hatred of billionaires against them. Talk up how billionaires should not be voting since they have been getting huge tax cuts.

Maybe it won't work, or maybe it will force them to look into how much each group actually pays into the tax system.

@bigmattoidchimpin It does not matter if billionaires actually physically go to vote or not. The idea is to push for a net taxpayer voter system and to confront the fallacy of "paying their fair share" regarding those who are paying not only more total dollars, but a greater percentage of their tax dollars.

And if it turns out that there are some rich folks who are somehow getting more than they are receiving in tax dollars, then they should be disqualified from voting too. I am fine with that.

@houseoftolstoy Yeah, I understand the concept of a net taxpayer voting system, and the concept of trying to get Democrats to confront the concept through (less) ridiculous gambits. There is historical precedent for it in certain places, though naturally the issue is couched in different terms since terms like "net taxpaying citizen" are unfortunately mainly used in dissident political communities. More like it does and does not matter if billionaires physically vote or not. My point in re billionaire voting is that libs are not going to ever pretend to get motivated to contest their right to vote; if anything, they'd want to insist upon them voting, without their "Big Money" influencing elections, then tax them more, while adding public campaign financing policies.
