SHOULD CITIZENS WHO DON'T PAY TAXES BE ALLOWED TO VOTE?

[af_newbie]

I don't pay tax and I'm very happy about it.
I've burned my social security card and I'm very happy about it.
I don't vote and I'm very happy about it.
I'm not on facebook and I'm very happy about it.
Etc...

If everyone was like me, there would be no war.

I really wish that the government would have given me that option of either paying my taxes or not voting because I will without a moment of though pick the latter because regardless of who comes to power, they are all the same people.

Sure, but without paying property or income taxes you'll not get a driver's license, any government services, no garbage collection, no schools for your children, no bank accounts (as you'll have no id), no health care, no job and no money.  If you operate a cash business on the side without any id or registration, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail, and IRS will tell you how much you owe them.

If you don't like paying taxes in your country, leave and live somewhere else.

It's obvious that it should be a yes. They are the citizens of their country to they have to the right to vote and choose who they want to lead the country. And those people who don't pay taxes won't do it permanently because once the tax authorities find out, they will face legal charges.

I feel this is easier to say but you need to understand that first the country need to deliver to their citizens. Even Govt knows that they never deliver everything and hus many things are yet to eradicated.

better make country's citizens happy and fullfill basic needs and ask for such dictatorship policies.

In a democratic country or in general (I must say), Whether you evade your tax or not, you are still eligible to vote as for the reason that you are a citizen of the country. Though, there are limits which literally shouldn't be a hindrance but still it's sad reality. If a citizen is poor (to the point, that a person being disregarded as a citizen) who seems nor can't afford to register itself, then automatically your right to vote is gone.
Should the government implement it? Well, It just a waste of time, since it will undergo a series of discussion, when they can easily uphold the law to them for tax evasion. So bottom line, Payer or non-payer don't matter.

Taxes is anybody who can pay for it but if you do not have a proper income then its an ezcuse not to pay the taxes here in our cointry there are people that dont have job and not paying any taxes on the Government but they can vote on the election why? Because they are citizens on our country and theres a law about it. But there are no rules that if you pay tax you cant vote in election.
