There are currently limits to who is allowed to vote. Are you arguing that there should be no limits on who gets to vote?
"There are currently limits to who is allowed to vote. Are you arguing that there should be no limits on who gets to vote?"
Yes, there are such limits. You must be 18 years of age, a citizen, and not a convicted felon. Pretty broad limits, I'd say.
How about this. Let's limit voting to only those who own real property outright. They're the real stakeholders in our society. So, if you have a mortgage, you can't vote, because you only have a short-term view of housing. I mean, you could just abandon the house, declare bankruptcy and forget about it. Only real property owners who own their property outright should be able to vote. How's that sound. They're the ones with a real reason to think long-term.
No. I'm just saying that childless persons should be able to retain the suffrage. After all, we childless persons are paying to educate your children, provide some of them with health insurance through the CHIPs program, provide them with transportation to and from the public skrools, and even raise them (via AFDC). Why shouldn't we be able to vote?
You have some nerve.
