"That would likely work too. But I’d 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.

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.

In the days before the New Deal, if you were indigent and were thrown on county assistance -- either cash payment or residence in a county poorhouse -- you had to sign the Pauper's Oath and surrender your right to vote until you left county welfare.

That practice ended during the Thirties.

I agree with that too! 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).
