Citizens that dont pay FEDERAL INCOME TAX should have no vote.

You do realize that everyone pays taxes, right?

Yeah. You have a point. Should have said federal income taxes I suspect?

Everyone is a tax payer and everyone owns property. Property in the 1700's was considered things a person owns, like slaves or a wife (JK), not just land. BTW not many people own there house outright.

Not everyone.

Everyone pays, may just net zero or better on their returns, like many companies do, after all mitt says they are people too.

IMHO, only taxpayers and/or property/business owners.

You do realize that having it NOT your way is what makes us different than many other countries ans one of the reason for starting this country, right?
