This Shirt’s got it absolutely right. And mandatory military service wouldn’t be a bad thing to throw into the mix. Heinlein had a great idea in “Starship Troopers”.

It’s been a long time since I read “Starship Trooper”, but if I remember correctly, it wasn’t mandatory military service—you only got the franchise to VOTE if you were a veteran. Not a bad idea, and in line with only allowing property owners to vote...so only those who are actually contributing are the ones getting a voice.
