But Matt Walsh is an asshole. His original post clearly meant anyone who doesn't pay Federal Income Taxes should not be allowed to vote which would eliminate 40 to 50% of the entire adult population.

Years ago, I saw him on the Sexy Liberals Tour with Stephanie Miller and Aisha Tyler. He was HILARIOUS; Aisha Tyler was not political, but she was funny; Stephanie Miller, not so much. I don't know if she was just having an off night, but she barely got a smile out of me, let alone a laugh. I just kept thinking "Don't quit your day job."

I agree everyone should be able to answer 10 basic citizenship questions to vote. And if you are blind or have hearing problems be able to orally answer or write the answers on a questionnaire. It would eliminate a lot of ignorant magas!

They pay capital gains tax. So they shouldn't be allowed to vote, right?
