Jason Bell has yet to work and pay taxes. What does a college kid's opinion matter in this debate? Let him work and pay taxes for a few years before he is given any kind of credence.

Totally agree !!! It's always those that RECEIVE the taxes you and I pay, that should not be allowed to vote on ANY issue involving taxes, PERIOD !!

I came to an epiphany a few years ago... Since the Revolution, "no taxation without representation" has been a maxim in this country. I think it's also common sense that there should be no representation without taxation!

As Thomas Sowell put it: "It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."
