I’d be happy to require voters pay $100 to vote, or own property. Or even just no voting if you are on the dole.

Unhappily, that REALLY won’t happen! But man...if it did, can you imagine how much better our government would be?

Yup. I keep telling people the 24th amendment was a horrible mistake. Most people think it's about "poll taxes" which they have been taught are "racist."

It is about paying *ANY* taxes, including federal taxes. The nation was much better governed when you had to be a taxpayer to vote.
