Including a spouse that doesn't work is moving the goalposts. Might as well include dependents at that point.SFGbob said:
How did I move the goal posts? I never limited it to net payer of income taxes. I just said net payers of taxes. You pay more than you take you get to vote, you take more than you pay, no vote for you.UWhuskytskeet said:
Since we're moving the goalpost that much, let's let anyone that pays sales, property, excise, vehicle, and gas tax vote too.SFGbob said:Housewives are most likely married filing jointly. Unless they married Hondo, they are net taxpayers. Many retirees are still net taxpayers.
The ability to vote people into power who would actually cut entitlement programs would be greatly enhanced. -
Just because the spouse doesn’t work doesn’t mean they aren’t a net taxpayer, even when my kids were younger and my wife didn’t work we as a couple were still net payers of taxes. My wife was just as responsible for our tax bill as I was, her name was on the return and her name is on the property tax bill.

Nope, you were paying the taxes, sorry mate.SFGbob said:Just because the spouse doesn’t work doesn’t mean they aren’t a net taxpayer, even when my kids were younger and my wife didn’t work we as a couple were still net payers of taxes.

You play to win the game.
If I were a politician id do everything possible to suppress voting on the other side
It's the American way -
Really? So if I don't write the check for the property taxes or to the IRS they won't come after my wife as well as myself?UWhuskytskeet said:

So I can just put everything in my wife's name and stop paying taxes. Cool. -
Being held liable doesn't mean she's paying taxes. I could cosign a loan for you to buy a car and be held liable. Doesn't mean I'm paying off your car.SFGbob said:

Being held liable means you're financial responsible for that debt if the other person stops payment. Does your wife know she doesn't really own your house, that only you do?

Do you just want to just the caveat that non-working spouses can vote under your regime?SFGbob said:Being held liable means you're financial responsible for that debt if the other person stops payment. Does your wife know she doesn't really own your house, that only you do?

No, because if the family are still net tax consumers I don't want the non-working, or working spouse for that matter to vote.
Skin in the game. The non-working wife who's husband still pays all the bills making them net taxpayers has skin in the game. -
Let's just compromise and give her 3/5 vote.SFGbob said:No, because if the family are still net tax consumers I don't want the non-working, or working spouse for that matter to vote.
