“Crap like this is why I would give up my right to vote to only allow voting by ONLY military veterans, ala. Starship Troopers.”

Used to have to be a property owner.

At the very least, disallow those receiving any government assistance unless they’re handicapped. Cut the nuts off of socialist wealth redistribution.

Hell, we should move tax day to every 1st Tuesday of November, Make the ballot be another form you fill out to the IRS. If you are a Net Tax payer, you get to vote, if you are not, well no vote form for you.

At this point I actually TRUST the IRS to process my Vote more than some Blue democrat district!!!!

And that is saying a hell of a lot right there!

Actually, the founding fathers idea carried to its furthest wouldn’t allow anyone working for the government to vote. They could be swayed by their employer. Tax payers at home paying for the war machine shall always have a vote, else what is the point?

We are not suppose to be a democracy. If we had an state level electoral system the democrats would almost never be elected.

Having land owners,ie: farmers and ranchers having a more heavily weighted vote would help keep the gimmiethats from coming close in most elections.
