Can't wait until this exceeds 50%. I am with Glenn Reynolds on this, if you don't pay income taxes, you shouldn't be able to vote. Period. Just think of all the personal responsibility and accountability that exists when someone doesn't have property rights. Now think about the majority of this country as "renters". It is unbelievable to me that someone with no skin in the game can have the ability to control capital allocation decisions. Especially, when you can just "buy" votes with entitlement programs that are paid by the productive.

What to do? Easy. Make a minimum income tax payment necessary to register as a voter. I don't know what this number is but I am sure you can scale it with income levels. There needs to be an active decision for everyone between the personal fiscal stability of not paying taxes (subsidized by others) and actively participating in the investment for growth of this country (providing revenues).

I would love to see the breakdown of registered Democrats who are included in this 47% vs that of registered Republicans and Independents.
