Forbes columnist Bill Flax for recommending Jim Crow poll taxes on voters.

His requirements for voting:

A basic literacy assessment;

A non-partisan test ensuring competency of basic constitutional principles;

A stake in the community reflected by property, employment or other measures;

Restrict the franchise to lessen conflicts of interest regarding state employees, lobbyists, contractors, etc.;

Surrender one’s voting privileges when seeking public assistance.

Even though several of these qualifications would prevent tea party people from voting, this is clearly Jim Crow. Tea party people should be allowed to vote just like the rest of us.
