Minimum voting age should be 23 and restricted to those who pay income taxes.

They won’t completely get rid of elections, Iran has elections, except the only candidate that can win is chosen by the Ayatollah.

California has elections, only in a few isolated pockets can a Republican win, same for most of the Blue Cities around the country.

The election system in these places has been so corrupted over the years it’s on par with places like Iran, Russia and other similar countries.

The political left knows that pure ‘democracy’ naturally devolves into pure anarchy, and that this is basically a middle finger to the system that prides itself on ‘democracy’. It’s the Cloward-Piven strategy but applied to voting.

The voting age should be tied to the age for legal firearm purchase.

Democrats need more uneducated voters and they know how to find them.

I want to raise the voting age to 30, except for military veterans. They can vote at 18 since it's their #$$es volunteered on the line.

So there!

Why lower it to 16, when you could just as easily lower it to 6?

That’s idiotic.

Kids at that age don’t even know what gender they want to be.

Does the science support the suggestion?

I have long advocated that the vote should belong strictly to people with skin in the game:

-property owners
-net tax payers
-active duty service members and honorably discharged veterans.

I really like the music from that movie and have the entire movie on a hard drive and a flash drive, and also have the record sound track.
