Here’s a cure. Remove the vote from residents of any individual or municipality that declares bankruptcy. If you can’t keep your own affairs in order you shouldn’t get a vote on how to control the affairs of the nation.

Interesting. I think there's a lot of merit to this.

Require three things to vote, a valid voter registration, a valid Gov issues picture ID, and a copy of your tax returns.

Within 6 years there wouldn't be a single demonrat in elected office.

While your idea would never get implemented that does not mean it is not a GREAT idea and would be a step in the right direction.
