a law that would ban actors and actresses in politics...

[FK]

---

remember, not everyone pay taxes.

yes they can... remember "CEDULA" community tax? it is still a tax.

but what's with being a tax payer and the right to vote? Will the person who will be elected will only serve those who payed their taxes?

Mura man og ang naay trabaho maoy makabuhat og kahibaw kng onsa ang sakto...

i agree. even ang estambay nga ang trabaho motabako ra kada adlaw, even pay the value added tax sa sigarilyo. saying actors/actresses are incapable of being in the government is too much generalization.

As i say lately "NO T.I.N. #" then you're not allow to vote!

why should we ban actresses and actors from running into gov't position when some of them are taxpayers and qualified to be in the position? it should be - a law that would ban tax evaders (or with a record of non payng his/her tax) from running into position.
as long as they are qualifed the why should we the people ban them.

OT: I think a law that will allow only those people paying income tax to vote would be more suitable. This will at least curtail people from selling their votes.
Vote buying is rampant among those without income. Sayon or dali rani sila mapalit. And these are mostly people who are hilig sa mga artista. Bahala na ug walang alam or bogo ang artista basta kay gwapa, gwapo, seksi etc. kuno. Mao bitaw nayabag nani ang Pilipinas.

That is unconstitutional. Your being a citizen of the republic is not conditioned whether you have the ability to pay taxes. What makes you a citizen? Its defined in the Constitution. Let us not make discriminatory propositions here.

The power to tax is based upon the ability to pay principle. What if an individual belonged to the exempt category because his income is too low to pay the tax? Would you disenfranchise him for that? Imposing the condition on voting based on the taxes paid imposes a property requirement in the exercise of one's right to suffrage which is prohibited under the Constitution.
