Are you suggesting that the "poor" in this country today are the working class, and the rich are not?
Secondly, why do you believe people should pay a larger percentage of their earned income as taxes based on higher achievement, which is, in essence, a punishment?
Thirdly, you don't think that programs for the poor such as welfare only ENCOURAGE them to continue being lazy? I mean hell, the government is paying your way through life, why should you have to put in a single honest day's work for the rest of your existence? Barring mental or physical handicaps, of course... And most poor people I see around Atlanta aren't in wheelchairs nor drooling on themselves, for example...

You don't think that the most basic knowledge of who's running our country, then, should be required to vote?
