The problem with deciding who gets to vote based on how much they contribute to the system is that you're beginning to determine voting power based on how wealthy a person is, and by that logic the people who pay the most taxes should have the most voting power. That idea seems sensible on its surface, the people who pay the most should have more say in how it's used, but once again it's not such a great idea in practice because we don't want billionaires determining laws and regulations or what the government uses their tax money for, they already have lobbyists for that anyway.

Close the tax loopholes for the rich first. Wanting to tax the poor more while the rich use lobbyists to rig the system is unjust.

What tax loopholes do the rich have? Show me where the tax code says you have to be rich to utilize said tax code...

Your average working class American can’t afford the accountants, lawyers and shell companies required to exploit the corrupt tax code.
