Remove the ... mega-cities, and this country would be 2-to-1 Republican.

If we could have our way then, we could use a property qualification for voting. Like you must own at least an acre or two of land to vote. Not easy to get that reform passed, though. But keep it in mind.

It should be enough that you verify that you paid in your lifetime at least $2,000 in income taxes (students dont get to vote until they get a job, welfare cases dont get to vote for freebees).

These ideas are alas a pipedream, so the best we can do is fight to educate people to vote patriotically and for a good economy and not plundering of the rich to gain freebies.
