alt Hacker NewsMy H1B coworker has paid $180k more in taxes than I have. We are the same age. He has fewer years working in USA than I have as a citizen. We calculated this by the data exposed by the mySocialSecurity website.
I get to vote and he does not.

So you want voting status to be determined by how much you pay in taxes? Fascinating, surely that would go well
Well the fundamental question is does one see the US as a nation or some economic zone/factory where your worth is determined by how much you produce.
In the first case the paid taxes argument is pointless.
