I agree. That and we should only allow people that own property to vote.

we should only allow people that own property to vote.

Years ago in the colonies that was the case. There was a reason for that.

If you owned land you had food to feed your family and trees to chop down to keep you in firewood. If you had no land to farm and no skills you probably couldn't support yourself.

Anybody who couldn't support himself and family would be auctioned off to the community. People would bid on the non-productive ones to provide them with food and shelter and in return they would have to work for that person in return. Yes it was like slavery and it was for white people.

Originalists are in short supply these socialists days.

However you arrived at thinking for yourself, our founders bless you.
