I believe there should be property requirements for voting.
Indeed.
I think that if you take public assistance you lose your vote-—conflict of interest and all that. . .besides, if you say in effect, I am no longer able to care/take care of myself or family and I rely on the government to pay my bills and give me money, you are acting like a minor . . .therefore, as a minor you can’t vote.
There originally were. Today, a good part of the population are not freeholders because of lifestyle choices - not mine. I like having my own house.
I agree that people who are wards of the state, i.e., on welfare, should not have a vote. If they do, they can and will sell it to the highest bidder.
But I do not agree with this guy about more votes for the Uber-Rich. The Uber-Rich helped PUT us here in the first place. The Uber-Rich don’t pay their share. The Uber-Rich are frequently “citizen of the world” types. He wants to give MORE votes to people like Nancy Pelosi, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Soros, the Kennedys, the Bushes, the Hollywood crowd, etc????
Those people who earn a lot DO pay more than people who don’t, but that is ONLY the “working wealthy” - doctors, lawyers, professionals, skilled tradesmen, etc. The Uber-Rich protect their incomes while supporting expensive social programs that WE have to pay for - the working wealthy and the middle class.
Well, how much property though?
If I owned 100 acres and wanted to see 1’x1’ plots, or even 1” x 1” plots so people become ‘ property owners ‘ whats to stop me?
I understand your idea and have thought about it. But there would be a way around it.
Besides, its racist, homophobic, favors white middle aged - blah,blah,blah.
No vote for those who only receive from Government be it state or Federal. We are being overwhelmed by the gimme generations. One gimme generation begets another. If you are a senior with a work history of paying taxes, then you get to vote.
“I believe there should be property requirements for voting.”
Absolutely not.
My mother rented her entire life and would have voted in a hurricane.
