Whining, undemocratic Rich

Billionaire Perkins says only people who pay taxes should be allowed to vote, and paying more in taxes the rich should be allowed more votes.  HUMBUG!!!!!! The same mindset that said people whose homes are in foreclosure should not be allowed to vote. Perkin's logic is a double edged sword. Wealthy people have paid off Congress to get legislation that gives them rich subsidies payed for by the American Taxpayer, and allows them not to pay any taxes at all. When Willard Mitt Romney says what he is allowed when it comes to taxes is legal, it was made possible by buying the legislation to do so. Can't forget the hidden monies of the rich in the Cayman Island and the Swiss bank accounts. With Perkin's logic, that would make many of the rich ineligible/unable to vote; they don't pay taxes! Perkin's wants his cake and eat it too. The mark of a greedy, self-absorbed fool.   P3
