So for you it's the same than being paid by a private corporation?

  It's a conflict of interest.

    Right, so anyone using roads or having gone to school shouldn't vote?

      I didn't say whether anyone should or shouldn't vote. I asked a question regarding whether people with conflicts of interest should be prevented from participating in a democratic society, through voting, or as a politician. So should that be allowed or not? I think people using roads, or schools, or getting welfare should be able to vote, I believe politicians getting monetary benefits from tax filing services should be allowed to speak. I mean that's a pretty harsh decision, deciding that the government determines who is allowed to speak. That's what I was responding to.

    More or less of a conflict of interest than members of Congress lowering their own taxes?
