I would flip it around and say you don't get to vote if you're a net tax recipient. The incentives are too perverse to keep voting for more of other people's money.

No he lives in Ontario like me. He just recognizes the incentive structure of politics is completely broken and that fools will always vote themselves more “free” stuff and inevitably pay for it later.
