When this country was founded only LANDOWNERS could vote.
All these welfare garbage would be left out in the cold where they belong.
“When this country was founded only LANDOWNERS could vote.”
We have gradually slipped towards ‘mob rule’, as the vote has been extended to people who 1. don’t own property, 2. are recieving government handouts, 3. Are young and dumb.
Also, most people in this country are no longer under the impression that states elect presidents. Rather, they think it is and should be a popular election (ie the clamour over Al getting more of the popular vote than Bush).
Our schools have been very unhelpful as well - and the majority of Americans have no idea how different our system has become, when compared to the original intent.
But how do we get back? Would a politician dare suggest that people on welfare should not get to vote? Its actually still moving in the other direction, with movements to get felons back on the voting roles. Its a horse has already left the barn situation.
