The real question is if the natural state of women is being subservient to and unequal to men.

If they are then natural law keeping them from the vote would be justified.

For myself I hold that the natural state of women is being free and equal.

Thus any laws keeping them from the vote would be a violation of natural law.

I look at it without need to resort to gender, race or class. I argue that those who contribute should have the vote, and those who do not should not.

Representation without taxation is just as odious as Taxation without Representation.

I think voting while receiving government handouts is a violation of ethics in terms of a “conflict of interest”.

I also think that tax payers should be able to “vote with their pocketbooks” in that besides a simple flat tax there should be a sheet that allows you to determine what percentage of the money you give to the government goes to what department. So if I wanted to give all my money in taxes to the Dept of Defense and tell everyone else they get a big fat zero of my money then so be it. Also this would be a “pay as you go system”.

Ideally I would rather have the federal government fed by tariffs and no national income or sales tax.

Equal as people but not necessarily per office.

Ie there is one head of a household. Two heads constantly try to be in charge and it doesn’t work well.

The general problem is that men execute on logic, women execute on feelings. This is how government became to spend so much on unconstitutional ‘compassion” programs, and why we are where we are today. Many politicians have rode to office on the feelings of voters promising to do more charity with taxpayers money.
