    If all taxpayers can vote then a lot of young people who can’t currently vote would become eligible. Also, so would most non-citizens, including undocumented immigrants. What conservatives don’t realize is that most undocumented immigrants pay taxes (and generally get back less than they pay).

      I think that the idea is likely those who have a net payment into taxes, rather than having it covered with credit or deduction. That might backfire though due to ultra wealthy tax avoidance.
