Personally, I sometimes think it would be better if only homeowners could vote.

Let's think about that for a moment. You do realized that this would mean that most of the military couldn't vote don't you?

Most certainly those who have no assets and/or have ever received and/or presently receive any kind of handout whatsoever from any government should be excluded from voting. [Themselves rewards from others wealth]

That would of course mean that most of our [Tarrifs-supported] manufacturers should and would be excluded.

As, to a man, would America's new welfare rich: the American "farmer."

Sometimes?

That's how it worked, when we were a new country. Only people with a real stake in the system, landowners, could vote.

I'd settle for positive net taxes paid.

That's a tough one. I do however believe that only home owners should be allowed to vote on property taxes and school taxes. Amen.

You ever read Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers?

Watching the movie or playing the video game doesn't count; can you READ, citizen?
