Agreed.
But the larger point is that all of those poor people in red states who pay no taxes are effectively disenfranchised. Their states are red - their blue votes are meaningless.
The majority of those who pay no income tax are already non-entities in Presidential elections.
- Lazare 14y agoOf course, all those rich people in blue states who pay a huge slice of the federal income tax take are also effectively disenfranchised. Their states are blue, and their red votes are meaningless. Harder to get upset about all the poor lawyers and bankers who don't have their votes counted, but it's just as real. Democracy is funny.
