"That would likely work too. But Id just as soon give the weight of one vote per acre to all property owners."
I don't know about this, but I would support a vote only counting if you are a net "producer" in society. If you are a welfare parasite, you shouldn't have the "right" to vote for taking other people's money from them and given to you.

That practice ended during the Thirties.

I would include stundents receiving federal aid to go to college, all welfare recipients to include anyone living in any federally subsidized housing, recipients of WIC, foodstamps, health care or receiving welfare checks and any person in treatment for drug abuse (crack addicts, meth addicts, etc).
