Easy answer: if you are not paying taxes of some kind (income, FICA or taxes on investments), you don’t vote. Or you don’t vote if you are a net “taker” versus a net producer. Or if you are receiving a check from the government of any kind, except for a system like social security to which you have contributed, you don’t vote.

What’s the answer? Landowners vote? Take a civics test? Just asking, not advocating at this time.

Easy answer -- not so easy to implement.

That idea went out many decades ago when non-property owners were given the right to vote. It has incrementally increased to everyone having a vote. Now illegals vote, the dead vote, felons vote and Acorn types vote numerous times. I seriously doubt you are going to find any politician with a platform for poll taxing. The zombies would riot.

Maybe we should put that idea to a vote.

Sorry, my response #48 should have been addressed to you.

That is a nice fantasy of a moral principle, but armed robbers don't ask for your permission.
