    I found the below link interesting.

    Ya know......I've been saying for years that people who don't pay taxes should not be allowed to vote. Otherwise, you get the situation the US is in right now. When people are allowed to vote in their own entitlements, we're on the road to bankruptcy.

    Our forefathers revolted, once, with a battle cry of "No taxation - without representation". I think that works both ways. "No representations - without taxation".

    Flame away.

    Oh....and here's what your trillion looks like.

    I agree with you, but everyone pays taxes to some extent. Sales tax, phone tax, etc. I'd be more likely to favor an IQ test before voting. :D

    Hell Jeff, we can't even get people to show an ID to vote. Much more less suppress the non-paying citizens.

    $940B is a joke. Guys....do some research (just 20 min or so). Talk about "cookin' the books".
