Don't play dumb Gator... it comes to you too naturally to need the play.
Actually I was talking about property owners only being able to vote. Seems like a good compromise. So then we have in totality, everyone who is an adult property owner and US citizen. One more restriction... oh no!
So, you are ok with non-whites and women voting if they own property?
What is gained by only property owners voting?
A good portion of those in the military do not own property, are they not worthy of voting?
The basic idea is that those who lay the bacon get to say how it is eaten. Those with skin in the game.
What is gained by this? The people better vote in accordance what is better for the nation instead of for free shit.
How about only those that have earned the right to vote by serving their country get to vote? They have more skin in the game than some persons who's grandfather bought land 80 years ago and left it to them when they died.
I have no problem with this sort of people voting. Clearly there are some bad apples, but whatever. Anyway, the point of the thread wasn't listing all people who should vote.
yes, the point of the thread was about keeping non-whites from voting...but happily we have moved past that stupid idea.
