A new level of idiocy, even for the New York Times. It’s been decades since it was anything but a propaganda tool for the Left. Fortunately they’re going broke so maybe they won’t be around much longer.
That would also make them eligible to die on the battlefield.
Only people paying federal income tax should be voters.
Yes, I said it.
Extreme, I would say so. So an elderly retired military That sold his big house and rents and pays no personal income tax because SS is not taxed unless you make a bunch of money cannot vote ? Bullspit.
A wounded veteran living on VA disability that is not taxed cannot vote after shedding blood for the right to vote. I'll wait on the side to see how that works out.
Theme song and everything, by Max Frost and the Troopers:
[With no sense of tonality or pitch]
"Nothin' can change the shape of things to come!!"
“Raise it to 35. No single women, non-homeowners allowed to vote AT ALL!”
No single women??!! If you did that, the Democrats would never win another election!
Are you kidding me? Hurling vicious personal insults, and recycling tired old false leftist talking points is "thoughtful, eloquent protest"?
What they've shown is that the voting age should be raised to 21...and certainly not lowered.
May as well just hand over your car keys
to your two year old.
Not enough dumb uninformed people voting?
This is the most idiotic idea from liberals ever. Basically, its an admission that only ignorant, self-assured fools are liberals.
I might have gone for it 150 years ago, when many 16 year olds were working, either helping their own or starting a family, taking on responsibility...
The phrase originated with Francois Guisot (1787-1874): “Not to be a
republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is
proof of want of head.” It was revived by French Premier Georges
Clemenceau (1841-1929): “Not to be a socialist at twenty is proof of
want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head.”
Wild in the streets. Google it.
No persons not net positive in government support (taxes-benefits) should vote in the next election. Note that this does NOT include Social Security (the non-crazy check type).
No vote without a job!
Bingo!
How about this...
All verified US citizens 18 and older may vote, UNLESS...
a. Someone else claims you as a dependent. or
b. You are receiving government welfare (any form). or
c. You commit a felony.
