I do ponder that land-owner requirement from time-to-time. Never happen, but I wonder if the modern day equivalent is that you must have filed income tax as a non-dependent and your tax return must show that you actually paid net positive taxes.

I remember the old sci fi, “You aren’t a citizen until AFTER you have served in the military. Of course, with all the social engineering going on in the military, one wonders if the libtards haven’t anticipated this.

“that you actually paid net positive taxes”

no. people can have a bad year, the self employed as an example where they pay n o taxes. What of stay at home moms? they’d be filed on their husbands taxes not have earned anything themselves or paid taxes themselves? I’m sure there are more situations where a person for a year or more may not owe taxes.
