So... You do realize that this is all related to NY allowing residents to vote in LOCAL elections and that my comment is about that? With a specific comparison to the EU that does the same (but only partially sadly)? Why does it matter what is theoretically possible? It is currently the case that it gets funded from taxes I guess pretty much everywhere. Thus despite not having a citizenship, foreigners have an additional claim why they should decide how the pie is sliced -- namely, that they pay for the pie. I never wrote anywhere that taxation should be the only factor in who gets to vote, and if there was any confusion about this, I wrote so explicitly in another post. So I would encourage you to start reading what other people specifically say, the context behind it and not have knee jerk reactions.
