Hear! Hear! This is indeed the point with letting these people vote. And after reading Boris's comments about taxation I would proffer that those who do pay taxes are suffering from "taxation with under-representation".
Freedom is actually responsibility, see Marinerhodes recent post on the topic for an eloquent discourse on the logic. Part of freedom in the US entails choosing the leaders of our government. If you demonstrate gross negligence and irresponsibility in your own affairs how can we as rational human beings afford you the opportunity to screw up our national affairs? To dumb it down... why do we have to suffer because you are a lazy ignorant wart on the arse of society??
