“IF they are working and paying taxes. “

—

So all of my housewife years I wouldn’t have been able to vote——or my retirement years.

So all of my housewife years I wouldn’t have been able to vote——or my retirement years.

My answer to that is most housewives are married and file jointly. That means they pay taxes, because the household paid taxes. So, yes, if the household paid taxes, you would get to vote as a housewife. As for the rest, what's wrong with asking people to have some skin in the game before being able to vote themselves more goodies?

Haven't you been on your husband's tax returns and have to sign them?

THAT'S PAYING TAXES !

And, I rent so I couldn’t either. Mmmmm

If in all that time you never thought to have your husband put your name on any of the marriage’s real assets, you don’t deserve to vote.
