Those numbers are just talking points for class warfare and socialistic thinking. I would either tax the 47% at some low rate, even if it is only $10, so at least they have some skin in the game. Alternatively, a constitutional amendment that limits the vote to net taxpayers. If you pay nothing, you can pretty much guarantee you will vote for those that promise you the most "freebies" (ie: other people's money)
OK, now it looks like some are suggesting a method to LIMIT VOTERS. Sort of sounds like a POLL TAX to me. Are we now to go BACKWARD in time about 60 years to POLL TAX? Why are the rich SO AFRAID of VOTERS that they want to ALWAYS find ways to deny VOTING. I thought that I lived in America, land of the FREE (and FREE to VOTE).
