No, it’s being required to prove that you have skin in the game and will vote for policies that benefit increased prosperity rather than “gimme, I failed.”

Whenever I’ve explained I’ve mentioned that in my “perfect world,” a tax return showing taxes paid would entitle one to vote for the next year.

Regardless of specific details, takers should not be able to vote for their own entitlements. The Founders knew this, as did most intelligent societies over the millennia. It was reversed purposefully.

So you just want proof of a filed tax return in order to be able to vote?

Of taxes paid. Not everyone who files a return paid taxes.

Not much people vote. Wonder if it will make a difference.

I have no plans to vote again. I haven’t since 2019.

Good, it’s pointless anyway. Especially in a state like NY.

I stopped believing in the process a while before I stopped voting. The only reason I kept it up for a minute was because I was told that your district receives funding based on the amount of votes received, but even after some time I saw that this still didn't matter. People are not existing for a purpose any more nowadays other than to make money.
