Only homeowners should vote. Otherwise, they have no skin in the game.

I'll call your "only homeowners," and raise you a "only potential draftees or people already serving in uniform" should be ALLOWED to vote.

Regards,

I don’t think he does. He got lots of people riled up at the meeting. Legacy media is twisting it, too.

I posted the whole SAVE Act in chat if you want to wade through it

There are plenty of people who live on social security and don’t have to pay taxes, and you’re telling me they shouldn’t get to vote??? How dare you!

I'm on Social Security. I paid plenty of taxes on my earnings, including money I never ever saw as it was taken out of my check to fund SS.

AND 85% of my Social Security is taxable income!

Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require proof of United States citizenship to register an individual to vote in elections for Federal office.

That didn’t work out with about half of illegals are registered to vote.

Well, we’re on SS, and we don’t have to pay taxes on it, but we sure paid taxes on it before we retired.

Voting is a right that cannot be infringed once a person has proven their citizenship.

Voting's never been a universal right. Originally it was primarily male landowners. Today, if you're under 18 you have no vote.

Passports should require an administrative and printing fee to cover costs. I’ll gladly get my BC out to verify to vote.
