Limit voters to taxpayers only

[bcasabee]

---

I have a suggestion...why don't we limit the election to those people who pay taxes only.....so that during the election ma minimize ang vote buying or anything involing dirty money......ang mga middle class dili nalang sad mahangol anang sardinas ug usa ka kilo nga bugas di ba?.....I am not saying na dis is a one size that fits all solution...pero it will help pud di ba?

That's what US is doing bro, as you observe, you will wonder why they only have a count of thousands not millions of voters there because those only professionals or what we call taxpayers if Im not mistaken can vote.

Kapaet man gd sa ato diri is mag rally ang mga maapektuhan ani kay natapakan nasad ila rights... hahahay.
Democracy man gud daw ta mao dili angay ipagkait nila kana mao nga katungod...

good thinking!..

BUT

accdg. to our 1987 Constituition- Art. V Sec. 1:

Suffrage may be exercised by all citizens of the Philippines not otherwise disqualified by law, who are at least eighteen years of age, and who shall have resided in the Philippines for at least one year and in the place wherein they propose to vote for at least six months immediately preceding the election.No literacy, property, or other substantive requirement shall be imposed on the exercise of suffrage.

might as well we revise this one first before implementation..hmmm..another debate in the 2 houses..

voting per state would be likely same as votin per region. in that way if the candidate got the area he/she will have 1 point for that in total/region.. if they will buy voters, they will have to pay the whole region.. hehehehe

yup... pero required ba sa U.S. nga ang maka vote ang taxpayers ra?

[M@rv|n]
