Great idea. The east and west coast would rule the nation and we could import really cheap yard workers from Mississippi etc.

I just thought since it's the responsibility of those with big incomes to pay for our government they should have more of a say in it. It seems only fair.

Seems fair on the surface.

On the surface. Until you realize who did the work that made the Billionaires their money.

What are you,
some sort of liberal bleeding heart?

Perhaps we should limit the vote to owners of significant pieces of land property. Then we could return to rule by the "landed gentry"

Are you talking about those beer drinking couch potatoes? I don't think they contributed all that much.

In you defense you're probably under the impression that the people who are on government assistance are there because they can't work or can't find work. For too many neither is true.

But someone who does work, is honest in their contribution will earn a good living. But that doesn't give them the right to what much longer hours, more economic discipline and smarter planning produces. If they want to make those sacrifices the opportunity for the rewards is there, or was befire government kept making it harder.

No, a socialist who sees in entrepreneurs and leaders of business no contribution, in the workers of the world everything. We'll soon enough be hearing, "Workers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains."
