So I have to pay taxes, but I can't vote. That sucks.

Easy, Paul...become a citizen, follow the rules to become one, THEN vote. I'm not a citizen of Canada. Should I be allowed to vote there? But if my income was made in Canada, meaning if I worked there, I'd be using Canadian highways, parks, etc. Damned right, I'd expect to pay taxes to pay for that. During many wars, a lot of the men who fought and died for this country weren't old enough to vote....and you ***** because you pay taxes? Gimme a break....I'm sure I have "paid taxes" in every country I have ever been in, simply by buying something. Does this qualify me to vote there??? Nope!
