Who has a better chance of meeting his legislative representative?
I realize this is a gross oversimplification, but I think ya'll get the point.
Also, what about stay-at-home parents? We feel it's better for the kids that one of us is home, so does that mean I have to give up my vote, since I don't have any direct income?

Whats stopping John from opening his own Quickee Mart?
Ive just played devils advocate here, I dont think paying more taxes should equal more votes, but I also dont agree with the more money I create for myself the more I should pay in taxes. I never really had thought about it to much until I heard this frictional idea on Rush. I dont have the answer, but I dont think Socialism is the way to go.
