Donna2: So (just to pick an example) someone who invested all their money in tax-free municipal bonds (you know, the stuff that governments sell to finance construction of roads, schools, etc) and lives off that income shouldn't be allowed to vote?
A family of four that earned under $50,000 but PAYS their mortgage and may have some one-time tax credits (like energy efficiency credits, etc) shouldn't be allowed to vote?
You *are* aware that poll taxes are unconstitutional? I'll quote the 24th Ammendment:
Quote:

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

"...or other tax" pretty much covers it all.
