The Founders of this nation would be horrified at the idea that the ability to fog a mirror constitutes a right to vote.

I’d say the rational modern equivalent to your attempt at a one-liner would be that net tax payers get to vote.

I agree and I was just joking about landowners. It would never fly, but was the original voting rights IIRC.

Your rational, modern equivalent of taxpayers voting is much more palatable.

Would it only be net tax payers so that those who manage to avoid paying taxes legally would not vote? I think it would be hard to implement, although I get your point. Instead, though, we have to educate the ignorant.

If we could convert just 16% of Black and Hispanic voters to the economic reality of free markets we'd win every election everywhere, including Chicago. I believe.
