Only Tax Payers Vote
In “Starship Troopers” Heinlein proposed the idea that only citizens can vote and only those who served in the military can become citizens (no inheritance of citizenship). The idea is interesting in that voting is limited to only those with skin in the game (military service). While I read the novel many years ago, recently I considered an similar interesting thought experiment:
What if only tax payers can vote? Here, by “tax payers” I mean those who net pay money to the government.
