Dorothy (I don't know you well enough to call you Dot), I didn't say that at
all. The OP did. I said I 'heard him', not that I agreed with him. I'm

my point (amused, I'll accept "dorothy" and click my red slippers) - is
that "property" is not a good test of involvement in the economy - the
paying of federal taxes is a proper indicator of having earned the right
to vote.
