No Representation without Taxation

Here's a great idea.  It would solve problems the world over- erase communism, marxism and chip away at the ever elusive terrorism support.




If you work and pay taxes, you get to vote.  If you are a government leech and receive welfare benefits your vote doesn't count.  Embracing this idea would stamp out the Democratic Party instantly and the political fight in this country would be who is more productive and more American.  The political center would shift so far right that no one would care about politics anymore and we could just go on living our lives in complete freedom. 


People on welfare would strive to get off it and work harder so they can have their own independence.  No one would vote to extend unemployment benefits (for the fourth successful time).  


No representation without taxation!
Is this an idea whose time has come?
