Any system that bars a substantial number of citizens from voting based on income is, by necessity, never going to be a part of an "intelligent debate." Originally Posted by timpage

As I have said, I am not in favor of it because of the unintended consequences I see--but that does not make it an evil or stupid idea. Practically I would never expect to see it happen here.
