Welfare abuse will always happen but it may actually cost less than the rich with their accountants working the system to pay as little taxes as possible.

Ideally a system should not require taxation. Prior to taxation the old way was through charities and the Church. England only imposed the tax once it became a racket. Quakers who knew better fled the animal farm and taxation without representation.


There is a conflict of interest in the poor brokering with a politician to grab the coffers of the producing class. The politician isn't on the hook nor is the poor in grabbing these assets. Only the rich and the working class whom are now taxed without representation. Or do you think it proper that household income be distributed and decided on by the children?

The clear answer in all of this is voting rights. I concur that voting rights should not be extended to those who pay no taxes. In scope, those who pay no taxes in this country are dependents and they should not have a say in how the system is run. They do need representation but as dependents. There is an important distinction to be had there.
