Which leads me to think that the early American rule that to vote you must be a land owner should prevail today. They are breaking the back of the people with their deliberate economic meltdown, now there will be more who will want on the dole than ever! Al; the threads are coming together to weave a very ugly tapestry.
God have mercy.
I would add one additional avenue to vote - military service. If someone is willing to lay down their life in defense of this country, I think they deserve the right to vote, even if they don't own land.
